Why Choose Us

The Power Factor Correction and Harmonics training course develops practical expertise in managing power factor and harmonic distortion across electrical systems. It explains how these interrelated power quality issues affect system performance, operational efficiency, energy costs and electrical infrastructure reliability. Participants learn to identify, measure and correct poor power factor while analysing the causes and effects of harmonics. The course also examines current technologies and methods for reducing harmonic distortion and optimising power factor in low- and high-voltage installations.

Poor power quality can damage sensitive equipment, shorten its lifespan and expose organisations to utility penalties. With a strong focus on real-world application, participants build skills to improve energy efficiency and support sustainable, cost-effective power system performance. They also learn how to help ensure compliance with power quality standards. This knowledge is particularly relevant to professionals working in facility operations, electrical maintenance or energy management.

This Power Factor Correction and Harmonics training course will highlight:

Understanding low power factor and its effects on electrical systems
Identifying, measuring and correcting poor power factor
Analysing the causes and effects of harmonic distortion
Applying technologies and methods for mitigating harmonic distortion
Optimising power factor in low- and high-voltage installations
Improving energy efficiency, equipment lifespan and compliance with power quality standards
