This four-day training program concentrates on developing the skills and
knowledge electrical workers need. Some basic electrical principles are
covered, but not basic electrical theory, rather terminology, basic concepts
of insulation and conductors and how Ohm’s Law applies to them. A single-
line diagram will be used to familiarize attendees with the common types of
equipment found in an electrical system, followed by a tour of facilities so
that they can identify those types of equipment. Dataplates and nameplates
are interpreted, the limitations of various types of voltage test equipment
are discussed as well as the proper way to use multi-meters, solenoid testers
and proximity testers. Operation of field equipment is covered in detail and
how to set up a safe work zone.

Don Morrow, Tom Gentile and Lee Willis, Austin, Texas — April 2009
Live-line work permits a utility to maintain, service, repair and most
importantly upgrade transmission lines while they remain in service. This
two-day executive and management overview course focuses on the
business benefits this capability brings to an operating electric utility and
how it can maximize the advantages it obtains.

Don Morrow and Tom Gentile, Raleigh, North Carolina — November 2009
This two-day course looks at transmission planning, tools and processes
used, and how it is shaped by technology, regulation and the history of the
North American grid. Current ISOs and regional organizations are studied. A
“generic regional planning process” is used to study requirements, functions
and the roles of stakeholders.
Penton Media is proud to announce the launch
of a new publication supporting management
professionals in the energy industry.
Launching in January 2009, Energy Matters will help meet the
ever-increasing needs of the global energy industry. We’ve engaged
some of the best minds in the energy industry to gather intellectual
insight from around the world in an effort to bridge the knowledge
gap and provide creative solutions. Our collaborative effort will
identify and present best strategies, policies, technologies and
business practices and analyze key energy issues.
