Learning Objectives & Matches
1. Understand the basics of transmission line parameters.
Test conductors, according to electrical diagrams and specifications, to identify corresponding conductors and to prevent incorrect connections.
Test operation of tower transmission components, using sweep testing tools or software.
Measure factors that affect installation and arrangement of equipment, such as distances to be spanned by wire and cable.
String transmission lines or cables through ducts or conduits, under the ground, through equipment, or to towers.
Signal engineers to begin train runs, stop trains, or change speed, using telecommunications equipment or hand signals.
Test connections to ensure that power supplies are adequate and that communications links function.
Inspect or test lines or cables, recording and analyzing test results, to assess transmission characteristics and locate faults or malfunctions.
Read and interpret electronic circuit diagrams, function block diagrams, specifications, engineering drawings, and service manuals.
Observe train signals along routes and verify their meanings for engineers.
Respond to emergencies, such as transformer or transmission line failures, and route current around affected areas.
4. Perform analysis of the power flow and voltage profiles in an established power system.
Test electrical systems to determine voltages, using voltage meters.
Specify power supply requirements and configuration, drawing on system performance expectations and design specifications.
Distribute or regulate the flow of power between entities, such as generating stations, substations, distribution lines, or users, keeping track of the status of circuits or connections.
Test operating voltages to ensure operation within acceptable limits for power conditioning equipment, such as inverters and controllers.
Monitor hydroelectric power plant equipment operation and performance, adjusting to performance specifications, as necessary.
Implement load or switching orders in hydroelectric plants, in accordance with specifications or instructions.
Determine appropriate sizes, ratings, and locations for all system overcurrent devices, disconnect devices, grounding equipment, and surge suppression equipment.
Prepare switching orders that will isolate work areas without causing power outages, referring to drawings of power systems.
Examine designs to determine current requirements for all parts of the photovoltaic (PV) system electrical circuit.
Plan or implement research methodology or procedures to apply principles of electrical theory to engineering projects.
