AVO Training Institute - Substation Maintenance II
2013-06-27 18:08:00| Transmission & Distribution World
Substation maintenance is a key part of any plant's maintenance program. Failures in key components such as racking mechanisms, meters, relays and buses are the most common cause of unplanned outages. Power transformer failures may result in significant downtime and long delays in equipment replacement. Most of these failures can be detected and prevented. Having skilled substation maintenance technicians is essential to equipment reliability. Location Various Locations United States See map: Google Maps Course Duration: 4.5 days Credits: 3.6 CEUs Level of Involvement: Hands-on Schedule: 8:00am - 4:30pm, the final day ends at 12:00pm Locations: Dallas, TX; Pasadena, CA; Portland, OR; Valley Forge, PA Course Number: 231 Tuition USD: $ 1770 Substation maintenance is a key part of any plant's maintenance program. Failures in key components such as racking mechanisms, meters, relays and buses are the most common cause of unplanned outages. Power transformer failures may result in significant downtime and long delays in equipment replacement. Most of these failures can be detected and prevented. Having skilled substation maintenance technicians is essential to equipment reliability. Learning Objectives • Identify safe work procedures • Explain the configuration and function of common equipment found in a substation • Identify components of air, oil and vacuum circuit breakers, and metal-clad switchgear (including switchyard equipment) • Perform and interpret results of insulation resistance and contact resistance tests on medium-voltage circuit breakers and switchgear • Perform overpotential and vacuum integrity tests, measurements and make adjustments to medium-voltage circuit breakers • Perform and interpret results of a tank loss index test on an oil circuit breaker (as needed) Who Should Attend This hands-on course is intended for apprentices, technicians and engineers responsible for the maintenance and testing of industrial and utility substations. Requirements This course requires working knowledge of basic electricity. Students must wear long pants and safety toe shoes to complete the lab portion of this course. No shorts or sandals will be allowed. **This course is available in both English and Spanish. read more

AVO Training Institute - NFPA 70E Electrical Safety
2013-06-27 18:08:00| Transmission & Distribution World
Revised every three years, the NFPA 70E is an OSHA recommended industry consensus standard for electrical safety in the workplace. Because OSHA regulations are generic in nature, this standard provides practical methods for protecting personnel from the hazards of electricity in your facility. Research is ongoing to improve these practices and the latest 2012 edition includes changes to equipment labeling, GFCI, DC arc flash hazard requirements and more. The ability to interpret this standard and understand how to apply the requirements is essential to realizing the benefits of NFPA 70E, fewer electrical accidents, improved power system reliability, OSHA compliance and potential discounts on insurance. Location Various Locations United States See map: Google Maps Course Duration: 2 days Credits: 1.6 CEUs Level of Involvement: Lecture Schedule: 8:00am-4:30pm Locations: Dallas, TX; Pasasdena, CA; Portland, OR; Valley Forge, PA; Reading, MA; Youngsville, NC Course Number: 431 Tuition USD: $ 765 Revised every three years, the NFPA 70E is an OSHA recommended industry consensus standard for electrical safety in the workplace.

Learning Objectives • Interpret and use the NFPA 70E standard • Identify the factors that contribute to electrical accidents • Explain the hazards of electricity and effects • Establish an electrically safe work condition (lockout/tagout) • Identify shock and arc flash protection boundaries • Use personal protective equipment (PPE) for low- and high-voltage tasks • Select safe work practices for low- and high-voltage tasks • Explain contractor and employer (host) compliance responsibilities Who Should Attend This two-day course is intended for any personnel who work on or around voltages 50 volts or more, or that are responsible for safety in the workplace. Personnel in any industry where the hazards of electricity are a reality will benefit from this knowledge. This course meets the mandated training requirements of OSHA 1910.332. Students will receive the 2012 edition of the NFPA 70E and supporting OSHA regulations. Requirements N/A read more
