ELM 2050 - Power Distribution
Clock Hours: 30
Delivery Mode on-ground
Course Description: This course is designed for use with the Nida Model 360S training console. The course introduces the student to 3-Phase Fundamentals and Power Transmission & Distribution Fundamentals. Other courseware topics include 3-Phase & Single-Phase Service Feeds, Power Transmission & Distribution Maintenance, and Power Grid Troubleshooting, all taking a “systems thinking” approach with an emphasis on hands-on troubleshooting.
