IEEE Certification in Field Reliability Operations SeminarMarch 17-19, 2008 — Columbus, OHMarriot Columbus Airport Hotel

Failing electrical equipment is the second-rated cause of overhead distribution outages in the U.S., responsible for 30% of all outages.  This avoidable problem affects all reliability indices.  Learn from the experts how to: recognize failing electrical equipment, locate failing equipment, and reduce SAIFI through Intelligence-Based Preventive Maintenance.

By attending this Conference you will be able to:
     Develop a cost-effective system survey
     Predict the costs of equipment failure across your system
     Create a SAIFI-reduction program by addressing Worst-Performing Circuits
     Improve customer satisfaction
     Improve SAIFI within 3 months
     Measure the results of your program and directly report the ROI monthly
     Bring new ideas, better understanding, and new technology to your utility’s reliability improvement program

Classroom/Lab Exercises:
     Learn how energized equipment fails
     Experience the failure signatures that predict an impending outage
     Develop a results-oriented program for your Worst-Performing Circuits
     Work with utility colleagues and plan a survey, location, and maintenance program with measurable results
     Create a business plan that includes:
         Program Parameters
         Implementation Design
         Deployment Milestones
         Measurable Results
         Program ROI
         Management Reports

Learn Field-Locating Techniques:
 
    Experience The OSU High-Voltage Laboratory hands-on learning session

Who Should Attend:
     Executives with PUC reporting responsibility
     Reliability Managers
     Reliability & Distribution Engineers
     SAIFI/MAIFI/SAIDI Coordinators
