Each technician will gain knowledge on how to read circuit breaker curves, calculate test currents, understand how each piece of test equipment works, and how to reference the PEARL testing methods and tables for the appropriate equipment. During the hands on training segment, technicians will test circuit breakers using the industries latest test equipment, performing a range of tests- Insulation resistance, contact resistance, timing, over current injection, and operational test to confirm the equipment's performance. Track Two - Medium Voltage Contactors: Technicians will learn the principals of testing and construction of medium voltage contactors - air, vacuum and oil. Each technician will gain knowledge on how contactors interrupt and dissipate an arc, control circuits, interlocks, starter configurations, PEARL testing methods and how to reference the appropriate tables for test values. During the hands on training segment, technicians will test contactors using the industries latest test equipment, performing a range of tests- Insulation resistance (AC and DC hipot), contact resistance, timing, and operational test to confirm the equipment's performance and perform manufactures adjustments. Get up to speed, you will be able to take advance of training two technicians in less time with PEARL's two track training series. Your technicians will be trained by industry professionals who will share equipment-specific defects and trouble areas you will see in service-aged equipment.
