SOLID STATE PROTECTION SYSTEM (SSPS). I&C Training Programs

The student will also learn how to use schematic drawings to trace signals and locate test points. Most importantly students will learn how to test and troubleshoot the system. Upon course completion, students will be prepared to support troubleshooting activities on site and to participate in future face-to-face training sessions.

Students will work with SSPS schematics and SSPS hardware to find test points, measure voltages, and trace signals through the system. Students will also learn systematic techniques for troubleshooting the SSPS system.
Students may access course documents at any time and may work ahead on exams if they desire. However, threaded discussion topics will only be open for the weeks that they are scheduled. This will help to keep everyone together as a learning community while still give students the flexibility to adjust the pace of learning to fit their own individual learning styles.
