Basic Electricity | Virtual, Live

Training: Virtual and Live

ALL TOO OFTEN, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL HAVE TO JUMP RIGHT INTO ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE WITH NO BASIC ELECTRICITY TRAINING, OR PERHAPS MINIMAL ON-THE-JOB TRAINING THAT SKIPS THE FUNDAMENTALS AND FOCUSES SOLELY ON A SPECIFIC APPLICATION. Without a Basic Electricity course this may result in technicians performing tasks without understanding the reason why or the implications of changes they are making on the electrical circuit. This can lead to unsafe activities and damage to electrical equipment. At a minimum, technicians should demonstrate technical proficiency in electrical fundamentals before performing any work on electrical equipment.

• Wind Generation
AVO's expertise in Wind Power electrical safety & maintenance focuses on the specific and unique aspects of wind generation. The electrical configurations in a windfarm are fundamentally the same, but with Wind Generation AVO goes into the weeds, zeroing on the differences between wind generation vs. traditional generation, like coal or nuclear. Our Electrical Safety and Maintenance courses do not get into the mechanics or civil engineering aspects of wind generation. However, our focus is on the unique Electrical Safety situations that wind generation techs encounter. AVO courses recommended for Wind Power generation techs include:

* Electrical Safety for Utilities: In-Person | Virtual | Onsite (call us to schedule)
* Substation Maintenance I: In-Person | Onsite (call us to schedule)
* Substation Maintenance II: In-Person | Onsite (call us to schedule)
* Battery Maintenance: In-Person | Onsite (call us to schedule)
* Cable Fault Location & Tracing (Medium Voltage): In-Person | Onsite (call us to schedule)
* Cable Splicing and Terminating, MV: In-Person | Onsite (call us to schedule)
* Cable Testing and Diagnostics, MV: In-Person | Onsite (call us to schedule)
