Cable Fundamentals
Registration required no payment at the door. This takes place over 2 consecutive nights, January 20 & 21 2026. A total of 5 PDH will be issued to registered attendees who attend the seminars each night.
Two Night Seminar Covering Cable Fundamentals
This course is geared towards practicing electrical, control and instrument engineers who perform engineering on facilities within the process industries.
Abstract: The session is intended for engineers, designers and technicians involved in the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of electrical power systems. Night 1 will provide an overview of design and installation considerations for power, control, and instrumentation cables including cable limits, pull planning, and proper equipment. Night 2 will cover recommended field-testing methods for medium voltage cables, including installation, acceptance, maintenance, and fault-locating tests, as well as grounding methods such as high-resistance grounding, low-resistance grounding, single-point grounding, multipoint grounding, and cross-bonding systems.
