POWER UTILITY ENGINEERS CODE
This 2 day NESC review course that provides a general overview of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) was developed primarily for electric utility personnel and contractors responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of distribution power lines and systems. NOTE: Students need to bring a copy of the current NESC and “kit” items provided in Level 1 to class (not included in course materials). Students will also discuss storm preparation (hardening of the system) and recovery (getting the system back operational). They will spend time learning about system protection and balance, including proper protective equipment selection and placement. Classroom discussion will include a brief look at how local requirements and/or RUS standards and bulletins incorporate (and compare to) NESC rules.
POWER UTILITY ENGINEERS HOW TO
Students will review NESC and will learn when and how to apply Rule 250 C and D. Students will look at mechanical loading for multi-circuits, will learn about commercial load sizing and will be guided through the process of calculating loads on manufactured products. They will discuss the aging power infrastructure and system reliability. In Level 4 of the Power Line Design series, students will be taken beyond the basics of power line design and staking and will focus on reliability and efficiency. Items provided in the Level 1 course may be needed in Levels 2-4 of the Power Line Design Series. Students need to bring a copy of the current NESC to class (not included in course materials).Īdditional materials/supplies required for Levels 2-4 may be provided in the Level 1 class (including - but not limited to - a scientific calculator with trigonometric functions). After completion of this course, participants will be able to complete overhead transformer and service conductor sizing, calculate accurate guy leads for both angle and dead end situations, interpret and implement sag charts in clearance design, and will be able to navigate the NESC in order to locate important rules and tables necessary for safe design.
This class will include the basic engineering of overhead single-phase lines typically expected of beginning line design personnel. In Level 1 Power Line Design and Staking, students will gain a strong foundation necessary to help them advance in the field of line design and staking.
