 Hydrogen Ventilation in the Battery Room with Curtis Ashton (PDH Course)
Thursday April 1, 2021 11:00 AM PDT (2:00 PM EDT)
Join us this Thursday for a special webinar session with Curtis Ashton concerning dealing with hydrogen in the battery room. In this webinar session, Curtis Ashton will explain the fundamentals of how to deal with the hydrogen standards and code requirements with standby power systems in data centers, telecommunications, and utility sites. The code states that you must deal with hydrogen in one of two ways: 1) Prove the hydrogen evolution of the battery using IEEE 1635 / ASHRE 21 or 2) have continuous ventilation of 1 CFM ft2 in the room. In this webinar, you will learn the proper way to size ventilation and deal with hydrogen detection systems.

EGS1116 Fundamentals of Ohmic Testing with Rick Tressler (PDH Course)
Wednesday April 28, 2021 8:00 AM PDT (11:00 AM EDT)
Internal ohmic testing of lead-acid batteries is one of the more recent integrity testing methods that have come along in the realm of routine maintenance. It has become especially useful in tracking VRLA battery condition and state of health. This webinar will present topics relating to the types of measurement methods, how measurements are made, understanding failure modes, interpreting the values and basics of establishing a battery ohmic value baseline for your battery, whether old or new. The limitations of ohmic testing will also be presented as well as avoiding pitfalls users of these instruments can experience.

EGS1118 Fundamentals of Battery Troubleshooting with Rick Tressler (PDH Course)
Wednesday May 26, 2021 8:00 AM PDT (11:00 AM EDT)
Generally, a stationary battery will provide years of trouble-free service when properly installed, tested, and maintained. However, trouble can arise and, if not identified, addressed, and corrected in a timely manner, it can cripple a battery when most needed. Much of the time the tell-tale signs have been documented but a technician may not know how to go about finding the cause of the problem. This course will focus on troubleshooting several common battery problems such as plate sulfation, electrolyte leaks and terminal corrosion issues, among others. Rick will present on how to identify them and make the necessary corrections before reliable operation of a battery is compromised.
