Course Outline:
This Utilities Industry specific skills curriculum provides trainees with the courseware that enables them to perform the tasks associated with an Electrical / Electronics Maintenance Engineer or Technician. This print based curriculum has been developed to meet the subject requirements of either an apprenticeship or an organizations skills development program. When combined with on-the-job training, this program will provide trainees with the comprehensive skills and knowledge they will need to perform in this trade area. The curriculum starts with the needed mathematics foundation.. The training progresses to the electrical and electronics courses needed to give trainees both the theory and a working knowledge of the operation and maintenance of all types of machinery and equipment used in power plants. This curriculum, as modified by custom assembling the appropriate courses, applies to utilities positions such as: Transformer Mechanic, Transmission Technician, Instrumentation Technician, Electric Control Designer, Electronics and Instrumentation Specialist. This training is appropriate for both entry level and experienced utilities employees. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
  • Perform calculations using algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
  • Understand the principles, components, and measuring instruments associated with AC and DC electricity.
  • Understand the operation and control of the common motors and generators found in utilities.
  • Differentiate between distribution and power transformers by construction and application.
  • Discuss the application of protective relays to protect motors, generators, buses, and transformers.
  • Describe the methods used to regulate the voltage of distribution systems.
  • Work with electrical quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance as they apply to electronic circuits.
  • Select the proper type of test equipment for a particular electronic application.
  • Discuss the operation of electronic systems such as microprocessors and servo and control systems as used in industry.
