Further Learning in Electrical Design for Mission Critical Supply + Technical Visit to Power Quality Centre

Designing an electrical system for mission critical purpose or data center can be a real challenge. Further to a training section in Data Center Facilities Design and Infrastructure Engineering, an advanced unit - Electrical Design for Mission Critical Supply - is going to launch in December 17 - 18, 2015.

The 2-day electrical design course introduces the power system design that support typical data centers or critical facilities. It prepares individual to fully understand the mission critical supply system, from power components to distributions and efficiency; from power requirements to designed, testing, commissioning and maintenance.

Technical Visit to Hongkong Electric Power Quality Centre
and Smart Power Centre


Voltage dips and harmonics are two major issues affecting power quality. To share the knowledge, Hongkong Electric has established a Power Quality Centre which enables participants to understand more about power quality and the ways to safeguard the power supplies for their important services.

The Power Quality Centre is equipped with a voltage dip generator and different mock-up installations to demonstrate the effects of power quality on sensitive equipment, as well as the voltage dip ride-through solutions for various types of equipment.


The “Smart Power Centre” provides advice on the choice of electrical equipment or appliances as well as general knowledge on the safe and smart use of electricity. The centre mainly focuses on introducing the effectiveness and easy use of electrical appliances, intelligent panel and automatic lighting control.


Further to the critical facilities / electrical design courses, you are cordially invited to attend the technical visit / guided tour by the HK Electric:
