Credit Hour(s): 4 Other Hour(s): 300 Other Hour Details: Directed Practice: 20 hours per week (300 hours per semester) Requisites Prerequisite and Corequisite EET-1910 Directed Practice Electric Utility Technology I, and EET-1210 AC Electric Circuits, or concurrent enrollment; or departmental approval. Outcomes Course Outcome(s): Perform installation of residential electrical services at house, pole, street lighting, and secondary circuits, in accordance with OSHA regulations and electric company policy and procedures. Objective(s): 1. Given various types of ladders and a pre-determined location, inspect the ladder for use. Position and set up the ladder. Tie off the ladder at ground level, climb, and belt off and tie off the ladder at the top. 2. Identify meters and their associated meter numbers and read and record proper meter readings. 3. Inspect the meter socket, test for the proper voltage, and set a three-wire and/or four-wire meter. 4. Remove customer kWh meter from cabinet, install the Beast of Burden in the meter cabinet, operate the device and determine which leg or legs of the service installation has a problem. 5. Remove Beast of Burden and replace the customer’s kWh meter. 6. Identify, locate, and repair problems with single-phase and three-phase meter installation. 7. Test voltage for the correct phasing of the service and connect the service. 8. Install secondary current transformers or inspect previously-installed current transformers (all polarity marks will be facing the same direction on the CTs and all CTs will be shunted) . 2 EET-1920: Directed Practice Electrical Utility Technology II 9. Given a UD service with one faulted leg, connect the Servisavor to the customer’s meter socket and restore temporary service to the customer. 10. Adjust a MD-6 Hytool with a 3/16” Allen wrench. 11. Install and connect one end of the service cable to the weatherhead. 12. Install and connect one end of the service cable at the weatherhead, climb pole, sag service cable, and connect service to the energized secondaries. 13. Splice two pieces of three-conductor, \#4 aluminum service cable together. 14. Use the proper die and tools to correctly splice two pieces of conductor together with a compression sleeve, and an automatic sleeve. 15. Test material for continuity. 16. Connect the voltmeter leads to the energized secondary, test the secondary voltage (phase to ground and phase to phase), read the indicator on the voltmeter, record the reading, and recall the reading. Course Outcome(s): Perform installation of streetlights in accordance with OSHA regulations and electric company policies and procedures. Objective(s): 1. Identify each light, select the proper material and make up the OAL light on a 30” aluminum upsweep bracket for a 120 V/100 W streetlight. You will also make up the luminaire light on a 8
