Course Detail: WTSN121 - Substation Apprenticeship 2A

This 15-week course meets 6 times. As a result of this training students will demonstrate and explain the correct usage and testing of personal protective equipment; identify the differences between series, parallel and combination circuits; then utilize Ohm's Law as well as Norton's, Thevenin's, and Superposition Theorems to calculate the total resistance and current flow in combination circuits and soft complex combination circuits, and parallel circuits; define exponential curve, Henry (H), eddy current, hysteresis, R-L time constant, and calculate the time it takes for a current to reach its full value when working with magnetic and electromagnetic induction, inductive reactance, and inductance; explain the difference between DC and AC, and utilize basic trigonometry, including vectors and magnitude, to compute instantaneous values of voltage and current in a sine wave, as well as to compute the peak, RMS, and average values of voltage and current in an AC circuit; and describe Inductance, and Resistive-Inductance in series and parallel circuits, then use measuring and testing instruments and trigonometry to solve for missing values in inductive and resistive-inductive series and inductive and resistive-inductive parallel AC circuits.

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."
