Transformer School Reminder

Posted By IAMU, Monday, November 12, 2018

The upcoming Transformer School workshop is open to electrical workers in transmission, distribution, substation, and Power plants.  The material is applicable to workers ranging from new apprentice as an in-depth look at the transformer material to journey level as a refresher for those that haven’t had the work type needed to keep their memory sharp.  I will be covering material from beginning to end while receiving supplemental assistance from Dave Link, Bob Hiatt, and Jim Thompson.  Information will be delivered via printed diagrams, verbal explanations, and by building indoor models on the training poles.  Below is what the course agenda will look like.

Transformer School - Save the Date!

Posted By IAMU, Tuesday, October 30, 2018

December 18-20, 2018 at the IAMU Training & Office Complex.

The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities is pleased to offer our Transformer School for line workers. The Transformer School will focus on transformer theory plus single-phase and three-phase transformer connections.

Participants will be challenged by the course instruction and hands-on station work that can benefit any utility! The various stations are designed to simulate "real world" scenarios without the real-world dangers. Working individually and in small groups, participants will benefit by understanding, building, examining, and collaborating to further develop troubleshooting methods that can help maintain your utility's reliability.

This course will be limited to the first 24 enrollments.  Further details will be released soon.

Registration will be open soon.  Questions?  Contact Dan Llewellyn, 515-971-8481 or dllewellyn@iamu.org.
