Lab Session: Electrical Safety for Qualified Electrical Workers

Technicians and supervisors are often hesitant to perform tasks on medium- voltage equipment without some prior training or experience. This one-day lab session pulls all the pieces together for planning and executing specific tasks on medium-voltage energized equipment. A planning session is followed by hands-on practice in Shermco’s training substation under the supervision of our field-experienced instructors
