Course Detail: WTME111 - Meter Apprenticeship 1A

This 15-week course meets twice per month for 8-hours. Students must attend 40 hours of labs. As a result of this training students will be able to Demonstrate proper first aid procedures and discuss important safety protocols including assessing risk and management of general emergencies, physical and electrical hazards associated with meter work, and the safety procedures associated with meter replacement; define and describe common metering terms and equipment including define basic metering terms, identify the basic parts of a watt-hour meter and basic types of meter bases, and identify different single-phase and self-contained meters. Assess a customer's power usage, conduct a home audit, read meters, and identify potential energy culprits; describe and define basic atomic theory, static electricity, magnetism, conductors, insulators, centripetal force, and the Law of Charges. Then use Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Law, and Norton's, Thevenin's, and Superposition Theorems to calculate current, resistance and voltage in series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits; describe major types of fixed resistors and identify their resistance and power rating by using color codes and determine whether a resistor is operating within its power rating; and describe high voltage AC power using correct terminology, calculate power loss, differentiate between true power, apparent power, and reactive power.

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 8AM-5:30pm at SLCC Miller Campus Miller Corporate Partnership Center Room 120A, 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."
