Distribution Line Safety

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces students to the principles and techniques of single-point, or equipotential grounding. For best results, students should have a basic knowledge of electrical theory, overhead distribution systems and equipment, grounding theory, equipment, and application and common work methods and procedures used in overhead distribution line maintenance.

Overhead Distribution Systems

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This program covers the basic layout of overhead distribution systems. It explains how to identify circuits and equipment in the field and introduces delta- and wye-connected distribution systems. The basic theory underlying the operation of delta- and wye-connected distribution systems is also presented, and the differences between the two systems are discussed. The program also explains how to differentiate between 34.5 KV systems and 13.2 KV systems.

Safety in Substations and Switchyards [Recently Updated]

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This program focuses on the basic safety principles and practices applicable to substations and switchyard maintenance work. The program describes electrical, chemical, and personal hazards that may be encountered in substations and switchyards. General procedures for responding to imminent dangers and accidents are also presented.

Safety in Meter Work

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course covers the hazards and basic safety guidelines associated with meter work and emphasizes working safely near energized equipment, using caution when approaching potentially hazardous conditions, and using protective equipment properly.

Introduction to Metering

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to present an overview of kilowatt-hour meters and meter operation. Although the program is intended to be introductory, several devices, procedures, and concepts presented assume a familiarity with basic electrical theory and distribution systems. Students without this prior training may require additional explanation or instruction.

System Protection and Monitoring

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course discusses the principles of protection and monitoring in a transmission and distribution system. The course explains the role of protective devices, system grounds, and monitoring and control equipment. Techniques for installing or replacing ground rods, arresters, and fuse links are presented. The course also describes how monitoring and control equipment is typically used in a transmission and distribution system.

Electrical Safety

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to teach trainees about electrical hazards and about the protective devices and safety practices that can help prevent injuries and equipment damage on the job. The course discusses safety hazards and protective devices. It also presents a step-by-step explanation of safety practices associated with switching, tagging, testing, and protective grounding.

Safety in Transmission and Distribution Maintenance [Recently Updated]

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to familiarize trainees with the basic safe work practices and safety equipment that are used in transmission and distribution maintenance work.

Alternating Current Fundamentals

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Most of the electrical equipment used today operates on alternating current (AC). The purpose of this training unit is to review significant terms, concepts, and principles associated with alternating current.

Basic Electricity Theory

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Modern Industrial plants contain a great deal of electrical equipment that needs to be maintained and repaired. To perform electrical maintenance tasks correctly and efficiently, electricians and electrical maintenance personnel must have (1) a basic understanding of the fundamentals of electrical theory; (2) a specific knowledge of the way electrical devices operate; and (3) practical hands-on experience.
