S&C's two-day Circuit-Switcher Workshop provides attendees with in-depth information and hands-on experience in the installation, operation, adjustment, and maintenance of the following S&C circuit-switchers:
- Type G through Mark VI circuit-switchers
- Series 2000 circuit-switchers
- Trans-Rupter II transformer protectors
Included in this session are detailed discussions of operator control schemes and a review of current field-advisory programs. A tour of S&C's manufacturing facilities — the John R. Conrad Industrial Complex — is also included with special attention given to the Circuit-Switcher final assembly area.
The workshop's primary emphasis is on circuit-switchers rated 34.5 kV through 230 kV. Attendees wishing to learn more about circuit-switcher models rated at 345 kV or 500 kV should contact S&C to make arrangements for individual discussion of these devices after the regular workshop program. The focus of this workshop is on installation, operations, and maintenance procedures; individuals interested in detailed training on the application of Circuit-Switchers should contact S&C to discuss training programs.
Over the past fifteen years, more than 2000 people have benefited from participation in this workshop, including individuals involved in substation construction, operation, maintenance, and engineering.
Upon completion of the workshop, a certificate of participation will be issued crediting 16 hours of professional development instruction.
Instructors for this workshop are S&C Field Service Technologists and supervisors who regularly check out and/or supervise service of Circuit-Switchers at customer locations.
