Electric Power Hot Line Training - Single Phase Systems

The Electric Power Hot Line Training - Single Phase Systems course provides participants with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform distribution work from an insulated aerial device using rubber gloving, a rubber protective cover-up, and insulated hot line tools on single-phase circuits. During the course, students utilize the TEEX Hot Line training field to perform tasks while elevated almost 40 feet under simulated energized conditions. At the completion of this course, participants are able to select methods and procedures to perform assigned duties on energized circuits under supervision.

Physical Requirements

Participants will be required to safety operate machinery and conduct field exercises at a height of approximately 35 feet during this class. In order to successfully complete these exercises, participants must be aware of any medical and/or physical limitations that might prevent them from participating in such activities. 

Student Must Provide

• Rubber gloves (Class 2)
• Rubber sleeves (Class 2)
• Hard hat
• Safety glasses
• Hand tools
• Work boots
• Long-sleeved shirt

Prior Training Courses or Knowledge

It is recommended, but not required, participants complete the TEEX Bucket and Digger Truck Operations (EPP025) and Electric Power Overhead Line Construction (EPP031) courses. Additionally participants should be qualified to operate an insulated aerial device and have basic construction knowledge of overhead distribution systems.

This course is designed for electric utility personnel who are required to work on energized overhead distribution systems up to and including 34.5 kV.
