Electric Power Systems Fundamentals for Non-Electrical EngineersLiving Online
The focus is on the building blocks of electrical engineering, the fundamentals of electrical design and integrating electrical engineering know-how into the other disciplines within an organisation. Unnecessary theory will be minimised and you will focus on best practice over the duration of the workshop.
The workshop will commence by reviewing basic electrical circuits and electrical laws. You will then be exposed to the basic principles of electrical generation, transmission and distribution. Electrical distribution will then be covered in considerably more detail. The interesting area of electrical measurements as applied to single phase and three phase systems will then be reviewed. You will be exposed to earthing with a strong focus on safety issues. Transformers will then be examined with an emphasis on power transformers as used in the electrical distribution industry. The first day will be concluded with coverage of power system components in terms of isolators, fuses and circuit breakers.
The second day will commence with an examination of AC and DC motors, followed by a review of electrical lighting and illumination concepts. The power hungry topic of electrical heating in industry is then examined. The impact especially in the modern world of power electronics is discussed with a demonstration of the possible unpleasant harmonics arising from using this powerful technology. This then smoothly leads into the topic of dealing with power quality. The last three major topics are electrical power system protection, electrical safety and customer installations. The penultimate topic of great interest to executive management in a company (and indeed municipalities and governments) is load forecasting.
The workshop is concluded with modern developments such as substation automation, the smart grid, industrial data communications and the still controversial topic of carbon trading.
A workshop such as this is certainly not going to make you a professional electrical engineer - although many experienced electrical engineers have commented on how useful this course has been in broadening their perspective in other areas of the electrical world. But in two action packed and enjoyable days, you will leave with a valuable toolbox of skills in electrical engineering, thus becoming far more productive and safer in your career and in working with electrical engineers, technicians and managers.

OHS in the Workplace - MBA 423 Human Resource ManagementStuart Gow
Case Studies (CS) – 10% marks
There are many excellent long and short case studies found throughout Stone’s book relating to the various sections and chapters of the text. Students will be required to work on these case studies, with the view to better understand the various HR theories and concepts and also to prepare them for their final examination. The facilitator will chose and then allocate the case studies for each group during week 2 for class presentations from weeks 7/8 and 9. The time for each presentation may vary from 10 to 20 minutes followed by class discussions. The group’s power-point presentations, both soft and hard copies, must be submitted to the course facilitator on or before the presentation. No written report is required for CS. The class and the facilitator will evaluate each group’s presentation. A blank evaluation form will be made available in class and posted in Moodle. However, the facilitator has the final say in terms of the final marks to be allocated to each group. The criteria to be used as a guide for evaluating the CS presentations is provided in the blank evaluation form.

3. The Basics of Electricity
•The pressure created by that power supply is called voltage.
•Voltage is the pressure applied to the circuit.
•Current is the Flow of the electricity in the conductor.
•Resistance is any restriction to the flow of the current in a conductor.
•Voltage, current and resistance are the three most fundamental components of electricity.
•Voltageis measured in volts,
•currentin amps
•resistancein ohms.

15. What is a fuse?
A fuse is a device that protects against damage from excessive current. It contains a short piece of wire made of an alloy that melts readily. The flow of current through a fuse causes the wire to heat up and melts when excessive current passes through the fuse.
This action burns out the fuse and breaks the circuit. It also interrupts the flow of electricity because a fuse is always connected in series with the circuit it protects. A burned-out fuse which is commonly called a "blown" fuse must be replaced for the circuit to function.

Fuses aren‘t!
The E-T-A series 3120is used to switch the grain millON and OFF, at the same time protecting the electric motors from overheating by overcurrents.
Example
ComparisonFuses vs. Circuit Breakers
21. CBEs: No hazard when the circuit breaker is unintentionally switched onto a short circuit.
Fuses: Installing a fuse with the load connected may cause an open intensive arc which is a potential hazard for personnel.
This fuse was plugged in on an existing short circuit. The arc destroyed the terminal block.

23. CBEs: Well adjusted to the load,
even in the event of high inrush
currents from capacitors and
motors.
Fuses: Trip upon inrush currents;
otherwise a higher current rating,
possibly requiring a larger wire
size, must be used, in which case
protection from low overloads is
no longer ensured

57. Steel Types
Silicon steel is used for laminations
Silicon content 0 –6.5%
Why Silicon?
•Small hysteresis curve area
•Increases electrical resistivity
Reduced eddy current size
•Hardened grain structure
•Reduced workability
•Very low carbon levels <0.005% are called for or magnetic ageing will take place
Losses will increase with age
•Carbon can be removed by annealing in a hydrogen rich atmosphere
58. Grain Orientation
•Optimum properties are developed in the rolling direction
•Magnetic density is increased by 30% in the coil rolling direction
•Magnetic saturation is decreased by 5%
•Given codes such as M-0, M1, M-2, M-3, M-4 and M-6
•Similar magnetic properties in all directions
•less expensive
•Used in applications where the direction of magnetic flux is changing (motors and generators)
•Given codes from M-15 to M-47
Non-orientated
59. Grain Size
The larger the grain the less the hysteresis losses
2-10 W/kg @ 60 Hz and 1.5 tesla magnetic field strengthare common with a 150μm grain size
heat treatment increases the average crystal size
Excessive bending, incorrect heat treatment, or even rough handling of core steel can adversely effect its magnetic properties
60. Amorphous Steel
losses up to 30% of conventional steels
Made by pouring molten alloy steel on a rotating cooled wheel.
•high cost (about twice that of conventional silicon steel)
•lower mechanical properties
This cools the metal so quickly that crystals do not form
61. Lamination Coatings
•Increase electrical resistance between laminations
•Provide resistance to corrosion
•Act as a lubricant during die cutting
•Can be organic or inorganic (such as Magnesium oxide)
•Dependant on the heat treatment of the laminations
•Wheather it is immersed in oil
•The working temperature of the finished item
62.
63. Magnetostriction
A property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape when subjected to a magnetic field
losses due to frictional heating
first identified in 1842 by James Joule
When a magnetic field is applied, the boundaries between the domains shift and the domains rotate, both these effects causing a change in the material's dimensions
The effect is responsible for the familiar "electric hum"
64. Winding types
•Three types?
•Magnetic leakage
Concentric
Higher voltage closest to Iron
70. Introduction
•In this lecture we consider various forms of rotating electrical machines
•These can be divided into:
•generators–which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy
•motors–which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy
•Both types operate through the interaction between a magnetic field and a set of windings

85. Introduction
•Three-phase induction motors are the most common and frequently encountered machines in industry
•simple design, rugged, low-price, easy maintenance
•wide range of power ratings: fractional horsepower to 10 MW
•run essentially as constant speed from no-load to full load
•Its speed depends on the frequency of the power source
•not easy to have variable speed control
•requires a variable-frequency power-electronic drive for optimal speed control
86. Construction
•An induction motor has two main parts
•a stationary stator
•consisting of a steel frame that supports a hollow, cylindrical core
•core, constructed from stacked laminations (why?), having a number of evenly spaced slots, providing the space for the stator winding
Stator of IM
87. Construction
•a revolving rotor
•composed of punched laminations, stacked to create a series of rotor slots, providing space for the rotor winding
•one of two types of rotor windings
•conventional 3-phase windings made of insulated wire (wound-rotor) » similar to the winding on the stator
•aluminum bus bars shorted together at the ends by two aluminum rings, forming a squirrel-cage shaped circuit (squirrel-cage)
•Two basic design types depending on the rotor design
•squirrel-cage: conducting bars laid into slots and shorted at both ends by shorting rings.
•wound-rotor: complete set of three-phase windings exactly as the stator. Usually Y-connected, the ends of the three rotor wires are connected to 3 slip rings on the rotor shaft. In this way, the rotor circuit is accessible.

coil of N turns experiences a change in magnetic flux,
then the induced voltage V is given by
• If a coil of area A rotates with respect to a field B, and
if at a particular time it is at an angle to the field,
then the flux linking the coil is BAcos, and the rate of
change of flux is given by
