Custom Utility Meter Training Rooms Built Around Your Operation

Build practical metering skills through hands-on instruction using the meter installations, CT applications, field instruments and training scenarios relevant to your utility.

TESCO Metering develops each Training Room around your available space, operating procedures and technician-development objectives.

Troubleshooting Practice

Technicians inspect, measure and diagnose wiring, service and transformer-rated conditions in a controlled training environment.

What TESCO Metering Builds

Designed Around Your Utility, Not a Preconfigured Training Board

TESCO Metering does not require your utility to make a standard board fit an existing facility or training program. We begin with the space you have, the applications you support and the skills your technicians need to develop.

 

Fit to Your Facility

Fixed, mobile and combination layouts can be arranged around available wall and floor space, class size and instructor needs.

Aligned With Your Operation

Meter forms, electrical services, field instruments and testing procedures are identified according to your utility’s requirements.

Integrated for Instruction

TESCO brings the stations, metering applications and instructor controls together as one working system rather than a collection of separate training aids.

Prepared for Future Requirements

When identified during the design process, provisions for additional stations, services or specialized applications can be incorporated into the initial plan.

Training Room Capabilities

Train With Applications and Equipment Relevant to Your Utility

A TESCO Metering Training Room combines metering installations, field instruments and instructor controls to support practical, hands-on instruction.

Metering Systems and Field Tools

Configurations can include:

  • Self-contained and transformer-rated meter installations
  • Single-phase and polyphase services
  • Meter sockets, enclosures, CT cabinets and test switches
  • Current and potential transformers
  • Accessible or removable CTs for installation, wiring, ratio, burden, admittance and polarity-testing exercises
  • Meter site analyzers, portable meter test equipment and utility-provided field instruments
  • Dedicated stations for transformer and test-switch instruction

Station Design and Instructor Control

Available arrangements include:

  • Individual or multi-position stations
  • Fixed, mobile or combination layouts
  • Manual controls at individual work areas
  • Centralized instructor operation
  • Touchscreen or HMI control
  • Displays for locally connected meters, laptops or test equipment
  • Work surfaces, storage and connections for external instruments

Final capabilities are determined by the facility, metering systems and instructional requirements established for the project.

Configurable Training Scenarios

Practice Diagnosing Real-World Metering Conditions

TESCO Metering can configure utility meter training stations to simulate designated wiring, service, load and transformer-rated conditions. These scenarios give instructors a structured way to challenge technicians’ inspection, measurement and diagnostic skills.

Service and Wiring Conditions

Exercises can address:

  • Swapped or rotated phases
  • High- or low-phase conditions
  • Missing phases or neutrals
  • Inverted wiring
  • Ground faults
  • Hidden line-to-load jumpers
  • Phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground shorts
  • Backfeed and bottom-fed conditions

Transformer-Rated Conditions

CT- and PT-related exercises can include:

  • Reversed CT polarity or primary orientation
  • Cross-phased CT or PT secondary connections
  • Shunted CTs
  • Incorrect CT nameplate information
  • Missing CT, PT, phase or neutral connections
  • Wiring between CTs, test switches and meters
Training-Rooms-Transformer-Testing

Load and Generation Conditions

Station configurations can also address:

  • Reverse-current conditions
  • Voltage present on the load side but not the line side
  • Customer-load test-switch conditions
  • Cogeneration or net-metering simulations

Depending on the station design, scenarios are introduced through manual switches, local controls, a central operator console or touchscreen/HMI operation.

Available exercises are established according to the meter forms, electrical services and instructional objectives defined for the project.

Expanded & Customizable Training Options

How It Works

From Your Requirements to a Finished Training System

TESCO Metering follows a defined process to translate your facility, metering applications and instructional objectives into a coordinated utility meter Training Room.

Define

We identify the available space, personnel to be trained, meter forms, electrical services, field equipment and exercises the room needs to support.

Design

TESCO Metering develops the layout, station arrangements, metering applications and control approach based on the project requirements.

Build and Test

TESCO Metering manufactures and integrates the stations, controls and specified equipment, then verifies the required functions before delivery.

Evolve

When future requirements are identified during the initial design, provisions for additional stations, services or specialized applications can be incorporated into the system plan.

Let’s Design the Right Training Room for Your Utility

Your facility, equipment and training objectives are unique. TESCO Metering works with your team to develop a Training Room around your available space, metering applications, field equipment and technician-development requirements.

From individual training stations to a complete, centrally controlled environment, the system is configured to support the way your utility trains.
