The class was comprised of both new and experienced <br />engineers, technicians, and linemen from all walks of the utility industry. It was a <br />valuable experience discussing protection equipment selection, fuse coordination, and <br />system design with all these people. There were many differing opinions fueling <br />discussion. I walked away with a much better understanding of the utility industry and <br />what we as utility employees are really here for. Also, I got experience <br />selecting/coordinating fuses both by computer and by hand using graphs. The concepts <br />learned during this course have been immediately beneficial to me at ERNIU. <br />Was information conveyed to supervisor and co-workers ant to who?: <br />The information was discussed with Bryan and Glenn Sundeen. <br />Employee Signature <br />
