AVO Training Institute - Circuit Breaker Maintenance (Medium Voltage)
2013-06-27 18:08:00| Transmission & Distribution World
Unlike a low-voltage breaker, medium-voltage breakers rated at 1 kV or higher rely on external controls to operate effectively. That means technicians have more components to test and maintain to ensure a 3 to 5 cycle operating time. Failure of one of these breakers can cause catastrophic damage to other equipment and is extremely hazardous to nearby personnel. With safe and proper maintenance, technicians can ensure that tripping operations execute as required for equipment protection. In addition to improving electrical system reliability, well maintained circuit breakers also minimize the arc flash hazard energy levels that technicians can be exposed to during a fault. Location Various Locations United States See map: Google Maps Course Duration: 3.5 days Credits: 2.8 CEUs Level of Involvement: Hands-on Schedule: 8:00am - 4:30pm, the final day ends at 12:00pm Locations: Dallas, TX; Valley Forge, PA Course Number: 300 Tuition USD: $ 1440 Unlike a low-voltage breaker, medium-voltage breakers rated at 1 kV or higher rely on external controls to operate effectively.

AVO Training Institute - Transformer Maintenance and Testing
2013-06-27 18:08:00| Transmission & Distribution World
While the operating principles of transformers have remained the same for nearly a century, the challenges of maintaining and testing transformers have evolved along with transformer design and construction. Modern transformers are designed to closer tolerances than ever before. Proper testing is essential for evaluating the condition of a transformer. This predictive data will guide maintenance activities and help prevent catastrophic failure that damages downstream equipment and endangers personnel. 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; Valley Forge, PA Course Number: 142 Tuition USD: $ 1590 While the operating principles of transformers have remained the same for nearly a century, the challenges of maintaining and testing transformers have evolved along with transformer design and construction. Modern transformers are designed to closer tolerances than ever before. Proper testing is essential for evaluating the condition of a transformer. This predictive data will guide maintenance activities and help prevent catastrophic failure that damages downstream equipment and endangers personnel. Learning Objectives • Identify power/instrument and distribution transformer types, components and auxiliary equipment • Evaluate transformer configuration for the application • Interpret nameplate data • Perform and evaluate the results of insulation resistance, winding resistance, turns ratio, core excitation and power factor tests of windings, bushings and liquid insulation • Utilize a frequency response analyzer to identify damage • Calculate polarization index and temperature corrections • Perform oil sampling, testing, drying, filling and filtering • Explain gas sampling and testing • Combine test results to troubleshoot transformer problems Who Should Attend This hands-on course is intended for new or experienced electricians and technicians that install, maintain, repair or troubleshoot power transformers rated 765 kV or less used in utility and industrial applications. Requirements The student should have basic knowledge of AC/DC electricity. Students must wear long pants and safety toe shoes to complete the lab portion of this course. read more

AVO Training Institute - Electrical Safety for Utilities
2013-06-27 18:08:00| Transmission & Distribution World
Linemen, substation technicians, and other utility maintenance personnel are exposed to some of the highest voltages and electrical hazard levels in the United States. Lean operations and informal on-the-job training can lead to gaps in technicians electrical safety knowledge. To ensure adequate safe work practices, personnel must understand safety regulations, electrical hazards and the use of safe work procedures and protective equipment. Research is ongoing to improve these practices, so utilities may have difficulty keeping up with revisions in OSHA, the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), ASTM and other applicable electrical safety regulations. The ability to interpret these standards and apply the requirements is essential to preventing electrical accidents, outages and equipment destruction. Location Various Locations United States See map: Google Maps Course Duration: 4 days Credits: 3.2 CEUs Level of Involvement: Lecture Schedule: 8:00am-4:30pm Locations: Dallas, TX; Pasadena, CA; Portland, OR; Valley Forge, PA Course Number: 223 Tuition USD: $ 1200 Linemen, substation technicians, and other utility maintenance personnel are exposed to some of the highest voltages and electrical hazard levels in the United States.
