Course Description
Introduces the new technician to and provides essential knowledge for the experienced technician on the theory and sciences associated with electrical insulation. This training covers: the characteristics of insulation materials, key terms associated with insulation (dielectric) theory, and the properties of insulating material. This training covers the various methods of non-destructive field testing for insulating material. This is a full day, 8 hour, classroom course.
