3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None Th is course includes information about the industry, its major assets, structure and typical operations. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to defi ne the current North American railroading industry characteristics, basic operations components and processes and industry structure and administrative processes. (3/45/0/0/0/3)

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Math Placement Exam Th is course serves an introduction to the electric systems. Th e process begins with a macroperspective with a view of the transmission of power throughout the country with interconnection forming a network of electric facilities all across the continent. A schematic of a typical electric system generation and distribution fl ow will serve as a basis for a step-by-step analysis of the generating station to the distribution transformers. Th e unit breaks down to the micro-perspective of a typical electric system that allows for the movement of electrons in a circuit causing the low of electricity and discovery of the relationship that exists between voltage, current and resistance. Th e course also includes the study of the proper use of equipment, materials and specifi cations for construction of various distribution systems, proper use and handling of ropes and related hardware in line construction. Proper and safe climbing techniques are a major element in the orientation. Trainees will create an awareness for safety in the work with electric utilities, a knowledge to address the safety precaution which should be taken before starting, during and completing a job.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: UTIL-1010 UTIL-1020 UTIL-1120 UTIL-1130 Th is modular unit serves as a continuation of how a transformer works. Trainees will become familiar with the term 'system voltage' as it pertainsto the electric system and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) ratings. System Voltage will pertain to the phase to phase or line to line value of voltage from the distribution systems back to the source. (1/15/0/0/0/1)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: UTIL-1010 UTIL-1020 UTIL-1120 UTIL-1130 Th is modular unit addresses service continuity and system voltage regulations to assure proper operation of customer's lights, appliances and motors. Trainees will work with architectural drawings and identify consumer's system ratings and voltage from diagrams. (2/30/0/0/0/2)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: UTIL-1000 Th is course introduces basic electrical theory and concepts as it relates to the powerline industry. Topics include power, protective equipment, batteries, no load tap changers, voltage regulation, magnetism, transformer ratings, consumer services, primary and secondary system voltages, overcurrent/ overvoltage protective devices and street lighting systems. Safety issues are also addressed. (9/90/135/0/0/V)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: UTIL-1000 Th is course takes an in-depth look at single phase overhead primary construction and Rural Utilities Services standards. Students will also conduct pole top rescues, operate digger derrick trucks, and use materials and equipment necessary for overhead construction. In addition, topics covered will include joining, stringing and sagging of line conductors; the use of hot line tools; series, parallel and combination DC circuits; and step voltage regulators. Basic construction principles and safety awareness are emphasized. (9/90/135/0/0/V)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None Advanced theory and techniques of line construction and maintenance requirements will be presented. Techniques and theory of high voltage tools and equipment as well as techniques for working on energized high voltage lines will be presented and discussed. (3/45/0/0/0/3)
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None Th is modular unit addresses the requirements for grounding of a connection. From single to three-phase transformers trainees will determine how a connection is to be connected, as well as, demonstrate their ability to address transformer connection problems. (1/15/0/0/0/1)
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None Th is modular unit addresses application of electrical formulas to practical circuits. Watt-Hour meters, reading dial meters, solving for capacitive reactance and meter men's terms and defi nitions. (1/15/0/0/0/1)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None Th is course takes an in depth look at underground power delivery systems, including underground cable, URD terminations, splicing and fault locating. Safe work practices associated with underground power systems are also discussed. Additionally, transformer connections, single phase and three phase, are covered to provide the student with a working knowledge of primary and secondary voltage ratings and how to achieve diff erent voltage levels according to customer needs. Rural Utilities Service specifi cations are also discussed. (9/90/135/0/0/15)
