PC-EE301 Understanding the DeltaV Power and Grounding Manual
Course Title: Understanding the DeltaV Power and Grounding Manual
Professional Development Hours (PDH): 4.0
Delivery Format: Live Virtual (via Microsoft Teams)
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 4 hours
Cost: $399 per person
Course Overview
The DeltaV Power and Grounding Manual has a long history. There have always been questions and comments, some regarding the content, some about the situations at the installation site. To allow engineers to make better and quicker decisions, this course is intended to give one a brief history of the manual, but more importantly, bring clarity to the manual, noting what may be seen as areas of ambiguity in an official installation manual.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Have a better understanding of the content of the DeltaV Power and Grounding Manual.
Use the history of the Manual to gain clarity into the meanings and definitions within Manual.
Understand the tenants described in the Manual deficiencies and their potential impact on system performance and reliability.
Evaluate the economic justification for initial and ongoing investments in grounding infrastructure.
Implement best practices for designing and maintaining effective grounding systems in industrial environments.
Topics
Chapter 1 Introduction
A Control System is only as good as its Foundation
Important DCS Definitions: Availability and Integrity
Important Grounding Components: Chassis Ground and DC Ground
Chapter 2 DeltaV power and power quality
Clean power equals less process disruption
Typical power quality issues affect the integrity of a control systems
Higher availability – can also improve the integrity of a control system
Reducing the effects of power quality and increasing availability…What items?
Chapter 3 DeltaV system cabinets and enclosures
Considerations for ANY Electronic Components
Electronic Sensitivity to Static Electricity
Vibration
Temperature effects on Electronic components
Cabinet Power Quality as a means improve system integrity
Why can’t I just float the control system?
Load Sharing Devices
How should I adjust the voltage of the Bulk Power Supplies?
Chapter 4 DeltaV cabinet and enclosure grounding
The assessment of the necessary integrity and availability of a control system affects the grounding design
Field Device Grounding
Power and grounding for DeltaV CHARMs
Safety Critical SIS component power and grounding
