Technicians may work in different types of jobs within the lineman trades. They may work in generating plants, or within the telecommunication industry, or installing overhead and/or underground fiber optic cables. They may be required to interpret and use electrical and electronic test equipment. They may work in substations with large power transformers, relaying equipment, voltage regulators, instrument transformers, and oil circuit breakers. They may perform duties as electrical inspectors and consultants. They use blue prints, wiring diagrams, schematics and circuits of all types for troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance or installation of electrical components. They may be required to work in power transmission and distribution, installation and line maintenance, and line equipment with voltage from 120 volts to 500 KV. They may learn the techniques of live line maintenance to maintain continuity of service to LInEmAn ApprEntIcEShIp The Lineman Apprentice courses are offered for Linemen Apprentices to complete the Federal Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training’s other- related instruction requirements. See Apprenticeship section of the catalog for Lineman Apprentice classes. The Lineman Apprentice courses may substitute for a portion of the Lineman Technology Program requirements for an AAS Degree. For further information contact the Lineman Advisor. Due to the technical nature of the material in the following courses, additional reading and math instruction may be required. More information will be given during advisement. See Course Descriptions section of the catalog for detailed course information. This department manages the following course prefixes: - ACRT, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Technology - BCCM, Building Construction & Construction Management - BIT, Building Inspection Technology - CAW, Cabinetry & Architectural Woodworking - FAC, Facilities Management - LINE, Lineman Technology - WELD, Welding Technology Discipline Core Requirements: Complete the following: • LINE 1110 Lineman DC Theory and Lab • LINE 1120 Residential Wiring • LINE 1140 Basic Skill Development and Safety • LINE 1210 AC Theory and Transformer Applications • LINE 1220 Commercial Wiring • LINE 1230 Lineman Applied AC Math* • LINE 1240 Single/Three-Phase Lines and Safety • LINE 2310 Powerline Technician and Safety Code I • LINE 2320 Industrial Wiring 48 Credits 4.0 2.0 4.0 4.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 4.0 2.0 Utah Valley University Catalog 2008–2009 195
