Programmable Logic Controllers Online Training
Flexible, interactive, and efficient online training. Convert your computer into a virtual PLC and study at your own pace, on your schedule, in your home. The PLC technician training program introduces the concepts of PLCs and explains how they can be used in a plant or manufacturing system. The simulation software lets you design ladder logic programs, perform tests, and simulate the operation of real-world components including motors, solenoid valves, and a wide variety of other discrete and analog I/O devices.

Our program features:

• Open enrollment and flexible payment options
• Interactive CD-ROM and online learning resources
• Hands-on labs using software simulation
• Free 1-800 technical, tutorial, and admin support
• Offered through a network of colleges across North America

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

Power Factor Testing
This course covers theory, procedures, and safety for power/dissipation factor testing (AC insulation testing). Address testing methods, potential problems, and compensation for them. Perform various types of power/dissipation factor testing on transformers, oil circuit breakers, oil and compound-filled bushings, and insulating liquids and interpret test results.

FR Garment Evaluation
This educational Webcast covers evaluating flame-resistant (FR) fabrics, from testing protocols to after-wash performance and shrinkage control. It also discusses various properties regarding the way a garment is manufactured that can affect wear life, including product consistency, construction techniques, and pattern sizing.

Short-Circuit Analysis
This course covers symmetrical components theory and application, impedance diagram development, and short-circuit model development including three-phase, SLG, L-L, and LLG fault. Calculate symmetrical and asymmetrical short-circuit currents and manual point-to-point balanced and unbalanced short-circuit analysis. Build sample short-circuit analysis using SKM System Analysis, Inc.'s A-FAULT software in lab.
