Webinar Overview:

This course is part of the Comprehensive Staking Technician Program. It is designed to give students a basic understanding of the devices and techniques used to protect distribution lines and customers from damage or injury due to over-current/over-voltage. Topics include:

  • Fault current, including the basic application of devices to interrupt the maximum available fault current produced by short circuits
  • Voltage surges caused by lightning and the use of lightning arresters to shunt the over-voltage to ground
  • Basic theory of voltage regulators and capacitors with a focus on correct placement and application of the devices on the circuit when a line is being staked
