ELPL 1121 Electrical Distribution of Powerlines III
Description
Electrical Distribution of Powerlines III covers the function, operation, and types of fuses, circuit breakers, oil circuit reclosures and sectionalizers. Working with and around electrical equipment, and apparatus in substations will also be covered. Students will learn about the characteristics of transient voltages, types of distribution arrestors and safety. The course will also cover building overhead lines, stringing and sagging conductors, and ties and tying. Students will build OCR banks, capacitor banks, and three-phase transformer banks, work with underground distribution lines, connect sectional cabinets and pad-mounted transformers, and loop-feed URD lines. Tree trimming, and pole-top and bucket rescue will also be discussed.
