Thursday

This presentation will focus on ways to operate equipment from outside of the arcflash and voltage-protection boundaries to ensure personnel safety. Seminar participants will discuss:

• Types of equipment such as circuit breakers, load interrupter switches, and starters
• Device operation using remote systems and equipment
• Mimic panels and other engineered permanent solutions with regard to operator placement
• Body positioning as an important factor in safe equipment operation
• Issues with look-alike equipment

This seminar will explore the 2005 NFPA Article 250 with reference to grounding versus grounding and bonding. Attendees will learn:

• To differentiate between grounding or earthing the system grounding from equipment fault protection (or bonding)
• How to apply the 2005 interpretation to subsequent editions of the NEC
• How IT professionals, electricians, engineers, apprentices, and others can use this interpretation

This seminar will provide an overview of the essential information needed to determine the condition of power transformers. Participants will learn:

• Transformer theory
• Diagnostic test methods
• Data analysis strategies
• Application of electrical measurements will be discussed including:
  • Power Factor and Capacitance
  • Exciting Current
  • Transformer Turns Ratio
  • DC Winding Resistance
  • Impedance: Leakage Reactance/ FRSL
  • DGA/Oil Screen
  • Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA)
  • Moisture Estimation
  • Dielectric Frequency Response
