Journeyman Refresher–Transformers and Metering School

COURSE INFORMATION

This course is designed for tenured employees with experience in the electrical distribution field. It is recommended for lineworkers with at least six years of experience. Journeymen lineworkers will benefit from this refresher course.

Participants discuss metering and gain the knowledge and skills required to safely construct, install and troubleshoot electrical metering systems, ranging from single-phase, self-contained installations to three-phase instrument metering installations. The course also covers demand metering, network metering, net metering, AMR/AMI information and primary metering operations.

This course also covers transformer information including turns ratio, polarity, impedance, rotation, nameplate, induction, AC current, Wye/Wye, Wye/Delta, Delta/Delta fault current values, transformer fusing, transformer lightning protection, single-phase and three-phase connections, troubleshooting and safe work procedures.

In addition to classroom training, during hands-on portions of the school, students will connect single-phase and three-phase installations for the metering and transformers.

Each participant should bring

Hardhat – Voltmeter – Safety glasses – Hand tools

Long-sleeved ARC-rated shirts – Rubber gloves (low voltage is acceptable)
