About
After participating in the course you will be able to do the following:
-
specify cables for your application
-
interpret field testing results
-
apply necessary criteria for installation of power cables
-
know installation methods and limitations
Recent changes in technology have made it essential for engineers to update their methods for selecting and installing cable systems. The correct cable system is necessary for efficient implementation and operation of projects. This course deals with theory and engineering practices that are relevant to power cables, providing basic understanding of cable construction and applicable standards.
Worked examples will be used to discuss the cable system design process, which involves cable selection, ampacity determination, and sizing criteria. The course will also present and demonstrate above grade and buried cables installation requirements, covering utility distribution (4 kV - 35 kV) and industrial and power plant (4 kV - 15 kV) cable classes.

Training Methodology
Pathways Training and consulting adopts the newest techniques of human resources Training and consulting and, with the following:
- Theoretical lectures are delivered via PowerPoint and visual displays (videos and short films)
- Making scientific evaluation to the trainee (before and after)
- Brainstorming and role-playing
- Using case studies related to the scientific material being delivered and the trainees' work.
- The participants get the scientific and practical material printed and on CDs and Flash memories.
- Preparing records and reports of the participants' attendance and results, with a general evaluation of the training program.
- A group of the best trainers and experts in all fields and specialties professionally prepares the scientific material.
- After finishing the course, the participants get certificates of attendance signed, certified, and issued by pathways Training and consulting.
- Our training programs start at 9:00 o'clock in the morning and end at 2:00 in the afternoon, with snack buffet during the lectures.
- Providing a lunch buffet during the training program period, with organizing a lunch party on the training program final day for taking some photos and certificate awarding.
