This course is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the activities associated with electric utility line work, specifically: sub-transmission circuits, distribution substations, primary feeders, distribution transformers, secondary power systems, and customer connections. Students will engage in classroom and laboratory activities to develop the basic technical skills necessary to obtain a working knowledge and understanding of power distribution and transmission systems. Safety is strongly emphasized and special attention is given to explaining relevant electrical formulas and calculations. Consistent, easy-to-understand explanations and examples are used to explain the operation of each system. A blend of theory,formulas, lab work, and historical information stimulates interest in the continuing study of electric utility line work. Hands-on use of equipment occurs in a lab setting.
