& Solutions Seminar
This training opportunity is a must for
front line engineers and technicians in the Power Utility, Telecom,
PCS, Cellular and Consultant industries who deal with High Voltage
Protection at power substations or transmission line right-of-ways. The
seminars provide realistic and unbiased training on the subject at
three career levels; engineering, installation, and service.

Today’s telecommunications equipment is more sensitive than ever to
noise, AC induced voltages, RFI and lightning, which makes knowing all
the economical and practical methods of solving these problems a high
priority. SNC’s Power Line Interference Seminars have been presented
regionally as well as onsite for operating companies throughout the
world. More than 4,000 professionals have benefited from our Solutions
Seminars since 1982.
Attendees range from staff level engineering to central
office and field personnel from telcos, railroads, power utilities,
consulting companies, interconnects, equipment manufacturers and public
service commissions.
This four day course reviews the principles of AC
induction and its affects on metallic telecommunication cable
facilities. Covered are practical techniques for locating, identifying
and reducing or mitigating the main cause of noise… power line
interference. One full day deals specifically with “Fundamentals of AC
Induction.” Much of the class time is devoted to real world
applications on troubleshooting and effective use of test equipment,
with very little time spent on theory and mathematical formulas.
Class discussion is emphasized, so attendees are
encouraged to bring specific data and test readings (voltage to ground,
current, noise, power influence, etc.). There is also time after class
and during meals to discuss problems and solutions with instructors and
others who are seeking answers to common problems.
Program:
The SNC AC Induction Problems & Solution Seminar teaches practical,
economical solutions to the problems you face every day. We’ll discuss
AC induction, harmonics, transients, and noise and have live AC
induction demonstration equipment on hand to demonstrate techniques.
Learn how to troubleshoot and effectively use test equipment, how to
analyze specific test readings and data, and the effect that AC
induction, harmonics, lightning, transients, spikes and surges has on
telephone pairs. Most importantly, learn how to solve the noise and
protection problems you face every day.
Learn metallic cable facilities protection,
through
learning Ground Potential Rise (GPR) calculations and protection
schemes for all towers and substations. Class will run from 8 a.m.
until 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and until noon on Friday.
Tuesday’s class will specifically teach “Fundamentals of AC Induction,”
and instructors will be available throughout the week for individual
questions. Course fee includes three dinners, three lunches, coffee
breaks and course materials. The class stays together for most meals,
helping to stimulate interaction and sharing of ideas… one of the keys
to the success of the program.
Who Should Attend:
The course will help anyone involved in the engineering, maintenance or
manufacture of copper outside plant or the telecommunications equipment
connected to them. Our attendees range from staff level engineering to
central office and field personnel from telcos, railroads, power
utilities, interconnects, consulting firms, equipment manufacturers and
public service commissions.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn first-hand
from the
experts. In these cost-conscious times it’s more important than ever to
have efficient solutions to noise and protection problems that will
make your copper plant work in today’s telephone world.
Instructors:
The course is taught by well-known professionals who enjoy very
successful careers as specialists, not only in solving noise, AC
induction and protection problems, but also in training others in their
companies about this elusive science. They will share their vast
experiences, methods and shortcuts with you.
