Designing Overhead and Underground Electrical Customer Services
RECORDED MINI-COURSE
Earn a certificate for 3.0 PDHs
(Professional Development Hours)
Participants in this mini course will learn how to establish and apply criteria for the sizing of distribution transformers, overhead service conductors, and underground service cables based on the estimated customer load. The course provides an overview of voltage drop calculations and how to meet service voltage requirements with consideration of customer demand and power factor, service conductor/cable size and length, and short-term voltage variations due to motor starting. Presentations and application examples will also include NESC and practical considerations for overhead service pole locations, NESC service span and attachment clearances, underground transformer and junction box locations, and easements.
We combine real-time instructor-facilitated presentations with videos and photos, quizzes, live polling, Q&A sessions, and group discussions. You will receive a certificate via email for 3.0 Professional Development Hours upon completion.
