| In 1994 Finepoint inaugurated the annual Circuit Breaker
Test & Maintenance Conference, the electric power industry's premier event for substation/switchgear maintenance people. Participants receive practical training
from users' perspectives, learn factory authorized test and
maintenance procedures, network with their peers, and view
cutting-edge products at the supplier exhibits each evening
in the hospitality room. The conference continues to grow
each year and 538 people attended the 2011 conference.
Many conference topics focus on low, medium, and high
voltage circuit breakers. However, related substation and
switchgear topics such as power transformers, contact
replacement, oil testing and filtration, SF6 gas handling,
safe work practices, and asset management issues are also
covered. Finepoint's objective is to provide useful and
unbiased information that can be immediately applied to
substation and switchgear maintenance work. Most
conference topics are presented by the participants themselves.
The full day at a circuit breaker manufacturing plant has been a unique feature of the conference since 1996.
Participating manufacturers are ABB (1996, 2000, 2005), AREVA T&D (1997, 2001, 2006),
HVB (2004), Mitsubishi (1998, 2002), Pennsylvania Breaker (2007), and Siemens (1999, 2003,2011).
The five-day conference begins the first Monday of each
October with a reception that evening. The factory day is on
Tuesday. The conference presentations and training sessions are scheduled each year on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
