Electrician Seminar?

Hi,



I'm an automation engineer out in CA. My group builds automation workcells for our manufacturing facility. Ground up... design, development, manufacturing, mechanical, control, electrical... we do it all with our group of 5 guys. Sort of a "jack-of-all-trades" group.



Anyhow, my boss is interested in sending one of us out to get properly trained for wiring to NEC standards... so we have at least one specialist in the field of electricity. Topics we would be interested in are 3-phase power, lockout/tagout, power-circuit hardware, safety circuit wiring, and just general safe, up-to-code wiring.



Does anyone know of any kind of seminar/class that addresses this type of subjects... preferably in California, but outside would work too.



Thanks in advance.

Lots of folks give seminars, or will give them CA is a pretty big place, if your near one of the major cities check with the local offices of engineering service from, Eaton, Square DO, GE or Emerson. I know Eaton and Emerson do Arc Fault safety seminars. Something you need to be aware of.

Most places have a chapter of the Independent Electrical Inspectors Association. Mine has monthly meetings and you do not need to be a member to attend. Our chapter welcomes everyone.

A few phone calls and you should be able to get what you need.

You will find that NEC standards do not really apply for products. Assemblies and relay panels here must have a UL sticker. UL can be a lot different than the NEC when it comes to wiring.

National Technology Transfer is one group with roving teachers / classes all over the nation. I've been to some of their safety classes and thought they were worth-while. They host training for electricity application too. Haven't sampled that.

Does California require continuing education for electricians? If so, the state electrical board might have a list of qualified courses.
