May 19, 2009 - CDA's Power Quality CD-ROM has been updated and expanded. The new Version 3.0 contains several additional video case histories, new interviews and information from experts, and pertinent sections of the IEEE Emerald Book (Std. 1100-2005).The articles and videos on this CD-ROM provide a basic understanding of power quality issues and solutions for both existing and new construction.
The material was produced for electrical professionals as well as building developers and operators. Topics include general wiring practice, grounding, harmonics, lightning and transients, power conditioning and surge protection.This newest version builds upon an earlier version that was several years in the making. It is an authoritative collection of articles and video clips.
According to Dave Brender, National Program Manager at CDA, “This CD-ROM is provides an inside track to expert-level insight on many aspects of power quality.”The new CD-ROM answers such vital questions as: How does PQ affect the bottom line? What areas of PQ are most important? What happens when best practices are ignored? “Moving from one subject to the next is effortless,” says Brender. “The introductory segments provide an overview of the CD-ROM. The user can quickly master the basics and then move on to specific recommendations.
Expert opinions supplemented by actual case histories are given along the way about what works and what doesn’t.”The CD-ROM is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Vista. The first copy is free to U.S. addresses.
