What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Wiring diagrams and testing devices — use independently to inspect and test substation and relay circuits, identifying common malfunctions with reduced oversight.
  • Test data and meter readings — analyze routinely to diagnose equipment malfunctions and document findings using analytical or scientific software tools.
  • Circuit breakers, brushes, and commutators — repair, replace, and clean with growing independence following manufacturer specifications and facility maintenance schedules.
  • Relay adjustment and switch isolation procedures — execute accurately to isolate defective relays and restore normal circuit operation in familiar substation configurations.
  • Maintenance and repair records — prepare and maintain in compliance with facility standards and regulatory requirements using office suite and spreadsheet software.
  • O&M manuals, schematics, and engineering guidance — consult proactively to resolve moderately complex equipment problems and verify optimum functioning of power systems.
  • Signal quality and connectivity test results — evaluate against acceptance criteria, identify out-of-tolerance cables, and escalate findings to senior staff when needed.
  • Equipment performance characteristics — assess by comparing test data against baseline specifications to determine whether system modifications have achieved desired outcomes.
  • Equipment shutdown notifications and scheduling — coordinate with facility operations personnel to minimize disruption during planned maintenance activities.
  • Time management and prioritization — apply to balance concurrent maintenance tasks across multiple equipment types in a live powerhouse or relay station environment.
