Course Detail: WTSN111 - Substation Apprenticeship 1A

This 15-week course meets six times per semester. As a result of this training students will be able to describe safety practices and procedures when working with substations, electricity, and grounding including lockout-tagout, dealing with electrical hazards, ground-fault circuit interrupters, batteries, and when working in energized substations; discuss electrical principles including basic atomic theory, basic electrical theory including Ohm's Law, conductors, insulators, resistance, and magnetism; identify the resistance of the major types of fixed resistors using their color code, recognize their purpose, and determine if they are operating correctly within power rating; implement Ohm's Law and the voltage divider formula to calculate the electrical values of series circuits including solving for the voltage, current, resistance, and power dissipation in a circuit; and explain high voltage AC power including using correct terminology, calculating power loss, explaining apparent and reactive power, and the process to conduct vector sum measurements.

Bulletin

"This course is for registered apprentices with the Intermountain Power Superintendents Association (IPSA). As such SLCC will report student status, participation/attendance, and grade details to the IPSA. ** This is a 15-week Hybrid Course with online and in-person lab work; students should plan to attend 45 hours of labs and complete 30 hours of online coursework per semester as part of their Apprenticeship agreement. ** Students are responsible to ensure the instructor(s) mark them as present and participating in labs to get credit towards their apprenticeship hours.** In-person Labs will be held twice a month on Fridays 7AM-5:30pm at SLCC Miller Campus Miller Corporate Partnership Center Room 120-A, the Miller Electrical Sector Training Pole Yard, or previously determined utility partner locations. Those unsure of which location to attend should contact their employer and/or the instructors.** Apprentices may receive notification from Canvas, their employer, or instructors for changes to the in-person lab schedule based upon outages, availability, and employer needs."
