COURSE BENEFITS
These forums are designed to alert Canadian electrical maintenance personnel in utility, industrial, commercial and institutional facilities to the new 2005 International Electrical Testing Association (NETA) Maintenance and Testing Specifications. These NETA maintenance specifications cover the suggested field tests and inspections that are available to assess the suitability for continued service and reliability of electrical power distribution equipment and systems.
The purpose of these specifications is to assure that tested electrical equipment and systems are operational and within applicable standards and manufacturer's tolerances and that the equipment and systems are suitable for continued service.
This program will also deal with the important subject of troubleshooting electrical systems and choosing the proper preventive maintenance testing equipment and procedures.
Increase Your Knowledge
Focus on electrical maintenance standards, procedures and solutions to electrical maintenance and testing problems. These forums will also deal with specific issues relating to electrical testing and troubleshooting procedures and equipment selection.
Who Should Attend
This course is a must for electrical engineers, electrical maintenance personnel, plant electricians, electrical contractors, power specialists, maintenance managers, consultants and technologists responsible for the design, construction, installation, inspection, operation, or maintenance of electrical systems, electrical technicians, inspectors, safety personnel and other employees responsible for the operation and maintenance of electrical systems in a commercial, industrial, institutional or utility setting.

1:15PM -- INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY AND PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
Greg Bork, Director, Flir Canada
Predictive electrical maintenance professionals utilize infrared thermal imaging cameras with integrated temperature measurement capabilities to allow them to make accurate assessments about the operating condition of electrical equipment targets. Significant temperature rise above normal operating parameters, that will compromise component reliability,
plant productivity and personnel safety, can be determined with confidence via thermal imaging cameras . Plus, temperature measurements collected and archived over time via thermal imaging cameras may be used to create an historical operating timeline – making the plant’s predictive maintenance program even more accurate and cost effective. With the help of simple analysis tools, thermographers can determine priorities for their predictive maintenance programs.
2:30PM – REFRESHMENT BREAK
2:45PM - ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT SAFETY: REDUCE THE LEVEL OF RISK TO YOURSELF AND IN YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT
Steve Johal, Channel Manager, Fluke (VANCOUVER LOCATION)
Ken Reeves, Channel Manager, Fluke (EDMONTON LOCATION)
Taking measurement on electrical circuits can be made less hazardous by using test equipment the correct way. Electrical measurement tools like digital multimeters, electrical testers, oscilloscopes, current clamps and even test leads must be properly rated for the intended task.
In this seminar, attendees will learn current safety issues and discuss IEC61010-1 as it applies to our high energy, low voltage environment. Arc Flash reduction will be discussed as IEC61010-1 is implicated in the
NFPA 70E standard. Safe electrical measurement practices will be included as a review for everyone that makes measurements on electrical systems.

- Review examples and case study of safety incidents
- Understand common multimeter safety issues
- Learn about international safety specifications
- Understand over voltage categories and voltage withstands
