May 6-8: Siemens Power Academy TD, Houston, TX
Low-Voltage Secondary Networks
Covers fundamentals of network system design and operation, network relay characteristics and settings, fuse and cable limiter characteristics and coordination, primary system grounding and relaying, application of primary side fuses, overvoltages during capacitive backfeed, arcing fault characteristics and protection schemes for 480-volt spot networks, cogeneration and closed-transition load transfers on spot networks, and network protector test sets for relay and protector testing. Also included is material on forward and backfeed voltages through open protectors, impedance characteristics of different secondary cable configurations, and grounding in transformer vaults; discusses real-life problems and solutions. Each attendee receives a computer program for calculating the impedances and sheath/neutral currents for three-phase circuits made with single-conductor cables with multi-wire or flat strap concentric neutrals, or lead sheaths. Designed for engineers and technicians involved in planning, design, and operation of low-voltage spot network systems. For more information visit www.usa.siemens.com/energy/pti-education

May 6-7: Siemens Power Academy TD, Jackson, MS
SP/SPS/SPS2 Breaker Maintenance Training
Course designed for those responsible for operation and maintenance of SP/SPS/SPS2 power circuit breakers. Topics covered include introduction to power circuit breakers, receiving and inspection, installation, periodic inspection, 3-year inspection, 6-year inspection and major inspection. The program consists of minimal classroom work. Practical, rather than theoretical training is emphasized with attendee involvement in problem solving.
