The ICC Website is changing. As this transition is made, our new format can be found at www.pesicc.org/ICCWP. Please send any comments or questions to mvh@voncorp.com.
The Fall 1999 ICC Educational Program covers the basic principles common to all cable accessory design. This includes electrical stress control both geometric and Hi-K stress grading. Various types of current connections, compression, spring and threaded will be reviewed. The principles of interference fit both slip-on and shrinkable will also be examined. Two product specific areas, loadbreak connectors and terminators will also be covered. For loadbreak connectors switching and fault-close design criteria will be reviewed. Terminator properties such as track resistance, hydrophobicity and flashover distance will be discussed.
For the first time, we will be issuing Certificates of Attendance and 3 PDH (Professional Development Hours) credit for attending the ICC Educational Program.
