Circuit Breaker Maintenance – Low Voltage
Low-voltage power circuit breakers are one of the most poorly maintained protection devices in many power systems. Their exposure to moisture and contaminants makes this type of breaker more susceptible to failure without proper maintenance. Failure can lead to nuisance trips as well as more serious and life threatening situations like arc flash hazards.
This hands-on course is intended for new or experienced electricians and technicians that install, maintain, repair or troubleshoot power circuit breakers, rated less than 1000 VAC, equipped with electromechanical or solid state tripping devices. The student should have basic knowledge of AC/DC electricity. Students must wear long pants and safety toe shoes to complete the lab portion of this course.
Course duration: 4.5 days
3.6 CEU
