National Technology Transfer, Inc.
Delivery Method
Seminar
Target Audience
Electrical contractors, Electricians, Maintenance electricians, HVAC maintenance and Repair technicians, Plant & facility maintenance technicians, Building engineers, many others...
Summary
You will learn protection fundamentals and performance requirements that are essential for electrical installation, design and inspection.
Description/Agenda
From the beginning, the use of electricity has presented many challenges
ranging from how to install a safe electrical system to how to develop minimum
code requirements for safe electrical installations. These installations depend
on several minimum requirements, many of which are covered in NFPA 70.
In this grounding and bonding seminar, workers learn protection fundamentals
and performance requirements that are essential for electrical installation,
design and inspection. They will also learn how to do this
while maintaining the highest level of electrical safety for persons and
property.
What You Will Learn
Participants learn about grounding requirements as they
relate to Article 250 and other articles of the National Electrical Code®
(NEC). Installation, testing, and inspection procedures for industrial,
commercial, institutional and residential power systems are covered. Learn
the rules to minimize the risk of electricity as a source of electric shock,
and as an ignition source of fires and explosions.
