  • National Electrical Code for Photovoltaics by James Stallcup

    This one-day workshop, presented by UL, NFPA and James Stallcup, will provide you with knowledge on the 2011 National Electrical Code NECĀ® for designing and installing photovoltaic systems. Conductor selection, ampacity calculations, overcurrent devices and disconnects will be addressed along with utility-interactive systems. Effectively design, install or inspect photovoltaic systems for code compliance with the knowledge gained in this one day seminar.

    Accreditation: 16 PDH and/or .6 CEU

  • Basic Hands-On PLC Fundamentals & Troubleshooting I

    This intensive one day seminar has been designed to remove the mystery from Programmable Logical Controllers, by providing in-depth understanding and repairing of equipment controlled by PLCs. The seminar is designed to walk attendees through step-by-step testing of power supply, input and output devices on an actual PLC system. With advanced industry experts, you will learn PLC process for connectivity and programming with hands-on activities making attendees gain the ability for success in today's automated world.

    Accreditation: 6 PDH and/or .6 CEU

  • Basic Hands-On PLC Fundamentals & Troubleshooting II

    Building on the skills obtained in Basic PLC I, attendees will learn to connect and troubleshoot NPN, PNP, sourcing and sinking input devices, along with understanding the important process of troubleshooting these devices. By the end of the second day you will have wired and learned a real PLC with operating sensors, switchers, relays, and contactors found in most real world machines.

    Accreditation: 6 PDH and/or .6 CEU

  • Industrial Electricity I

    This one day seminar begins with a solid foundation in industrial electricity. By explaining Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Power, followed by a brief discussion of Ohms Law. An in-depth discussion of electrical symbols and drawings, including analyzing drawings of the electrical systems of real machines and transformers, including three-phase and single phase systems. The seminar will end with an in-depth discussion on motor control and power circuits. You will gain a firm knowledge of motor starters and how they operate in a motor controlled systems.

    Training Topics:

    • Electricity: Current, Voltage, Resistance, Power , AC & DC, Ohms Law
    • Transformers: Magnetism, Transformer Functions (Generation to Factory), Control Connections
    • Drawings: symbols, Relays, Contacts, Motor Starters, Ladder Drawings
    • Three-Phase Systems: Motors, Three-Phase Transformer Connections

    Accreditation: 6 PDH and/or .6 CEU

  • Industrial Electricity II

    This one day seminar will discuss in-depth three phase motors, motor construction, nameplate data, principles of operations, electrical connections, and enclosure types. Attendees will learn how to properly size overloads, fuses, and circuit breakers to properly protect electrical motors. In addition, attendees will learn common causes of failure for electrical components and proper steps necessary in troubleshooting. PLCs will be introduced and discussed in context of how they apply to maintenance personnel.
