Overview Electrical power engineering is critical for the health of the economy. Learn about fossil, hydro and nuclear energy sources that supply energy to prime movers, turbines and generators. Courses cover the principles of high-voltage energy transmission, how to analyze instrument readings and how to determine the location of equipment. Design wiring layouts, determine the routing of new power lines and interpret and comply with relevant codes, regulations and standards. Learn about wire capacity and sag, guying, support structures, insulators, lightning arresters, switches, circuit breakers and troubleshooting procedures. Plant loads, lighting, above and below ground systems, transformers, grounding practices, relaying and protection will also be covered. This program has credit transfer agreements with UW-Platteville, UW-Stout, Capella University, Franklin University, Silver Lake University and Upper Iowa University. The Electrical Power Engineering Technician program is an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree and offered at MSTC's Wisconsin Rapids campus. |
