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.

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. Learning Objectives • Identify components and insulation mediums for all vacuum and air magnetic circuit breakers • Utilize appropriate personal protective equipment and safe work procedures including lockout/tagout • Evaluate breaker ratings for various applications • Interpret control schematics • Explain removal and restoration procedures • Adjust linkages, switches and contacts • Perform circuit breaker maintenance service per NETA specifications • Perform and evaluate the results of contact resistance, insulation resistance, leakage current, power factor, timing and bottle integrity tests Who Should Attend This hands-on course is intended for new or experienced electricians and technicians that install, maintain, repair or troubleshoot air and vacuum metal-clad circuit breakers and switchgear, rated at 1 kV and higher. 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 - 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.
