Electric Power Distribution Workshops
The Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), formerly University of Missouri-Rolla, in cooperation with Cooper Power Systems, offers a series of two- and three-day workshops on a broad range of topics related to electric power distribution. All courses feature highly polished workshop notes and PowerPoint presentations. These workshops are available for in-house or captive workshops.

2010 Open Registration Workshops:

• Symmetrical Components: March 11-12
• Fundamentals of Power Distribution: March 31-April 2
• Overcurrent Protection: May 26-28
• Distribution Voltage Regulation: August 17-19

Molded and Insulated Case Circuit Breaker Maintenance
This course covers components and nameplate data for circuit breakers equipped with thermal, magnetic, and solid-state trip devices. Perform a complete circuit breaker service: inspection, removal, disassembly, cleaning, tightening, reassembly, lubrication, and adjustment in lab. Read and interpret manufacturers' trip curves, including RMS types.

New Workshops from UL University
Learn from UL experts by attending one of our new and upcoming workshops.

Topics include:

• PV installation, design, and sales
• PV certification and NEC for PV
• Specifying printed wiring boards in end-product applications
• Industrial control panels – UL 508A
• Consumer electronics – IEC 60065
• Test, measurement, and laboratory use equipment – UL 61010-1

Switchgear Maintenance
The Switchgear Maintenance program from Eaton Corp. is designed for engineers, technicians, and others who are responsible for maintaining low-voltage and medium-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear. Emphasis is on inspecting, evaluating tests, and understanding the engineered safety systems. Training is conducted by experienced power systems engineers.
