The Per Unit Analysis for Single and Three Phase Systems course provides a clear and structured introduction to one of the most important analytical methods used in electrical power engineering. Per unit (p.u.) analysis simplifies complex electrical calculations by normalising system values, making it easier to compare, analyse, and design single-phase and three-phase power systems.

This course explains the principles of per unit systems step by step, covering base quantities, impedance conversion, voltage and current calculations, and the application of per unit analysis in both balanced single-phase and three-phase networks. Learners gain a solid understanding of how per unit values are used in transformers, generators, transmission lines, and interconnected power systems.

Designed for clarity and real-world relevance, the course focuses on building confidence in electrical calculations while reducing mathematical complexity. Concepts are explained using logical progression, practical examples, and industry-aligned scenarios commonly encountered in power system studies.

Whether supporting academic learning or professional development, this course strengthens analytical skills that are highly valued in electrical and power engineering roles. By completing this training, learners develop the ability to interpret system data accurately, reduce calculation errors, and understand large-scale electrical networks more efficiently.
