MSTC - Electrical Power Engineering Technician

Electrical power engineering is critical to maintaining the infrastructure and health of the nation. Students review fossil, hydro and nuclear energy sources that supply energy to prime movers and generators. Prime movers are commonly combustion, steam or hydroelectric turbines. You will learn the principles of high voltage energy transmission and how to analyze instrument readings.

You will learn how to determine the location of equipment and design wiring layouts and determine the routing of new power lines and specify materials. You will also learn about wire capacity and sag, guying, support structures, insulators, lightning arresters, switches, circuit breakers and troubleshooting procedures. Plant loads, lighting, above and below ground systems, transformers, grounding practices, relaying and protection will also be covered.

The Electrical Power Engineering Technician program is offered at the Wisconsin Rapids campus.
