Course Overview

This course is designed to prepare technicians for success in achieving NICET® Electrical Power Testing Level II certifications. It provides in-depth training on essential skills, knowledge, and standards required for inspecting, testing, and maintaining electrical power systems. The curriculum emphasizes industry best practices and hands-on techniques aligned with NETA® standards (not endorsed) to ensure participants are equipped for real-world applications.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Electrical System Fundamentals : Gain a thorough understanding of electrical power system components, including transformers, circuit breakers, protective relays, switchgear, and cables.
  • Testing Procedures : Learn proper procedures for insulation resistance, ground resistance, dielectric withstand, circuit breaker timing, and more.
  • NETA-Aligned Standards : Familiarize yourself with key industry standards, including ANSI/NETA ATS, NETA MTS, NFPA 70E, NFPA 70B, IEEE, and ASTM guidelines.
  • Safety Practices : Understand critical safety requirements and practices, including lockout/tagout procedures and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Problem Solving and Reporting : Develop troubleshooting techniques for electrical power system issues and learn to prepare professional, standards-compliant test reports.
  • Advanced Theory : Explore intermediate-level electrical theory concepts, including system grounding, power factor correction, and fault current calculations.
