This course is designed for employees whose work varies from administrative, management, to production and technical functions within electric utility. It is meant for employees in a utility setting that do not deal with the distribution circuits on a daily basis. The intent is to provide a general understanding of basic electrical theory, utility operations, systems, technical terms and processes used in company communications to all employees.
This course will provide an overview of the electrical system from generation to residential. The course will examine the chain of processes that make electricity available when you flip that switch.
This course will also give a general overview of equipment and material used in overhead and underground distribution systems.
No special knowledge is needed to understand the material, only an interest in gaining a basic understanding of the components which make up the whole system of electric energy distribution.
