Course Outline:
This Utilities Industry specific skills curriculum provides trainees with the courseware that enables them to perform the tasks associated with a Meter Reader. 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. This curriculum starts with the mathematics foundation needed to perform electrical calculations. The training focuses next on AC/DC principles and their applications. Utilities specific courses provide the theory and instructional skills for the use of the components, equipment, and the electrical power distribution systems that a Meter Reader works with regularly. This curriculum, as modified by custom assembling the appropriate courses, applies to utilities positions such as: Electrical Meter Reader, Meter Technician, Relay and Meter Reader 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 and components associated with AC and DC electricity.
  • Perform efficiency tests on transformers and AC and DC machines.
  • Select the proper type of test equipment for general electrical / electronic measurement techniques.
  • Explain the functions of common electronic components used in utilities meters.
  • List the types of devices that are part of an assembled switchgear.
  • Describe the functions of the equipment used in power distribution stations.
