Two courses: Electrical Distribution and Electric Distribution SafetyOctober 19, 2022 | Online :: Central TimeElectric distribution lines are the throughfare for power from the local substation to the distribution transformer which modifies it to usable power for household appliances and commercial/industrial equipment. The power is lethal in that it measures in the thousands of volts and yet it is less than 100 feet from residences and business. The course provides key insight as to how these power lines can coexist with relatively few safety-related incidents. The initial discussion covers electricity basics and power concepts then moves forward to best system design practices and industry standards (National Electric Safety Code). Topics include system maintenance, repair, system fault isolation and storm restoration. Key segments include information concerning protection devices and systems. The cost/benefit of design options, especially overhead versus underground lines, will also be discussed. Learning Outcomes

Transmission Line and High-Voltage Substation Electrical SafetyOctober 19, 2022 | Online :: Central TimeThis course is designed to cover the basic safety considerations relating to performing maintenance work on high-voltage transmission systems and substations, including personal safety, electrical safety, and work site safety. OSHA Requirements 29 CFR 1910.269 and 1926.950 cover the operation and maintenance of electric power generation, control, transmission, substations, and equipment. Potential hazards in overhead, underground, substation, and switchyard maintenance will be examined. Processes involved in working on energized lines as well as safely isolating, insulating, and de-energizing a transmission line to make the line safe to work on, and restoring that line to service will be discussed. Participants will also learn the principles of equipotential grounding and how it safeguards line workers. Specific attention will be paid to communication, proper clothing, and protective equipment and to best practices in preparing to work on a variety of transmission and substation worksites. Register now to gain a better understanding of the hazards of transmission line maintenance and the precautions necessary to mitigate the risk of injury or death. Learning Outcomes
