We learned how the different applications of current transformers and voltage transformers <br /> make working in metering equipment safer and easier for billing purposes. The hands on work <br /> with actual meters and current transformers allowed us to test and find mistakes that will be now be <br /> avoided in the field. The meters are the cash register and its incredibly important to make sure that the <br /> equipment is in stalled correctly and is maintained over the years to ensure quality billing information. <br /> WAS INFORMATION CONVEYED TO SUPERVISOR AND CO-WORKERS AND TO WHO <br /> I provided feedback to Troy and Wade on the benefits of the course and the importance of ongoing <br /> training.
