Duration 1 Hour

The purpose of this course is to teach participants the purpose and function of the components that make up the transmission portion of a transmission and distribution (T&D) system. These components include conductors, insulators, and structures. The course also gives a basic overview of the major tasks that must be accomplished when a transmission line is constructed and discusses the principal concerns of a lineman during transmission line inspection.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to list and describe the major components in a transmission line and explain their functions. They should also be able to describe the basic tasks involved in constructing and inspecting a transmission line.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Explain the purpose of the transmission portion of a T&D system and the basic purpose of a power grid and identify the components that make up a typical transmission line.

Explain the purpose of conductors, describe some of the basic characteristics of conductors and differentiate between solid, stranded, and bundled conductors.

Explain the purpose of insulators and recognize and identify the types of insulators commonly used on transmission lines.

Identify and describe some of the typical mounting positions for insulators on transmission lines.

List and explain three basic classifications of structures used on transmission lines and some of the factors that affect the design of transmission structures.

List and explain some of the key tasks that must be performed in order to construct a transmission line and explain the basic process for stringing conductors.

List and explain some of the basic considerations for making a visual inspection and a climbing inspection of a transmission line.

Explain why it is important to document findings, such as a transmission line inspection.
