Electric Power Conductors Volume IV: Low Voltage Cables
In Electric Power Conductors Volume IV: Low Voltage Cables, you'll learn ...
- Characteristics of low voltage conductors and cables
- How to calculate voltage drop and fault current
- Low voltage cable installation practices
Overview
This course contains information about low voltage (600-volt) cables. Basic characteristics of conductors and cables are covered, and detailed information about overhead and underground duplex, triplex, and quadruplex cables are discussed. The course also includes information about the installation of cables, including voltage drop calculations, fault current calculations, and installation practices. This course is the fourth in a series of four courses about conductors and cables used in the electric utility industry.
This course is one of four courses on electrical power conductors. The four courses are:
- Electric Power Conductors Volume I: Electrical Characteristics
- Electric Power Conductors Volume II: Mechanical Characteristics
- Electric Power Conductors Volume III: Medium Voltage Cables
- Electric Power Conductors Volume IV: Low Voltage Cables
Each course is written as a stand-alone course and it is not necessary to take them in order. Because they are written as stand-alone courses there is some duplication of material among the four courses.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- The difference between weatherproof and insulated cables
- The types of conductors and insulation used in low voltage cables
- The characteristics of multiplex cables
- How to calculate voltage drop and fault currents in low voltage cables
- Installation practices for low voltage cable
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
