Electric Utility Substation and Relay Technology
The Electric Utility Substation and Relay Technology program is a two-year program that trains students to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the high-voltage equipment and critical protection systems that keep the electric grid running smoothly. Students get hands-on training with industry standard equipment that they will encounter in the field and have opportunities for internships.
The Electric Utility Substation and Relay Technology curriculum provide students the skills to maintain high voltage equipment and protective systems for the electric utility transmission system. Training in operation and maintenance of critical infrastructure associated with the electric transmission grid is included.
Courses are designed to develop student understanding of maintenance and troubleshooting on transmission equipment, including three phase power theory, protective relaying, power transformers, voltage regulators, capacitors, and power circuit breakers common to electric utility and numerous other industries.
Graduates should qualify for entry-level employment in electric utility, renewable energy, and industrial facilities as technicians who diagnose and service equipment and components used for electrical power transmission.
