The 1980s presented a decade of growth and expansion by continuing to add various courses
to a variety of industry categories. A suite of electrical safety courses was introduced to coincide

1963
with the introduction of Ralph Lee’s published paper: “The Other Electrical Hazard, Electrical Arc
Flash Burns.” As the ’80s came to an end, an outside substation was built at the Dallas location
to provide more of the hands-on training for which Multi-Amp had become known.

NFPA 70E Standard, which recognized the arc flash hazard, was published.
The next decade brought on many more changes and opportunities. The AVO Engineering Division was
established. Its services were expanded to include Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, and the study of other electrical
hazards to mitigate electrical risk. Electrical safety audit services were initiated. AVO safety advisors began

1970S traveling to customer facilities to conduct thorough electrical assessments, write safety procedures, and develop
safety programs for worker safety. Mid-2000 introduced “The Star Member Program,” which provided a turnkey

 WE DEVELOP CUSTOM
COURSES FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
When one of the world’s largest mining companies needed an electrical
safety course developed for their workers’ specific needs, they came to
AVO Training. That’s when we put our Mine Safety & Health Administration
(MSHA) Certified Subject Matter Experts together with our Curriculum
and Instructional Design Team to develop a custom course to keep the
miners safe from the hazards of electricity.

Our goal was to help develop a high-quality training program and to

strengthen and modernize their training efforts through collaboration with
their stakeholders.

Because Federal law requires that all miners receive basic and annual
refresher training, and all mine operators maintain an effective training
plan, AVO provided materials, guidance, and hands-on assistance to
help the customer meet their goals.

If you don’t find the course or courses that match your electrical safety
and maintenance training needs in this catalog, we can develop it. The
course will be designed specifically to meet the objectives desired to keep
your personnel safe. Our electrical safety experts are available to help with
your safety development projects while saving you time and money.

 IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DATA
As microprocessor-based protective relays replace their mechanical
counterparts, there is an increasing requirement for training. Because
of demanding FERC and NERC compliance standards, power grid
monitoring and control requires comprehensive data, and more of it
than ever. That’s why we are introducing two new microprocessor-
based training courses: Microprocessor-Based Relay Testing,
Feeder Protection and Microprocessor-Based Relay Testing,
Transformer Protection (see pages 41 & 42 for course details).
The two new courses along with our Microprocessor-Based Relay
Testing, Generation course (page 43), provide a complete menu of
quality training to offer technicians the one-stop microprocessor
learning destination needed to understand and interpret the amount
of data this new generation of relays provide.
Our two new microprocessor-based courses are designed to train
engineers and technicians on the advanced microprocessor relays
in use today, including: SEL-751A, SEL-787, GE-SR-750, GE-UR
T60, ABB-REF 615, ABB-RET 615.
TWO NEW MICROPROCESSOR RELAY COURSES As always, AVO Training Institute strives to provide the most
comprehensive training possible. These two new microprocessor-

 AVO ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION
The AVO Engineering Division is a registered engineering firm. We analyze electrical systems
to identify equipment applications that create electrical hazards. Our personnel sit
on the NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 committees, so our power system studies
are always based on the latest standards. We see compliance as
well as improved safety and liability as a by-product of these
studies. Our staff consists of licensed Professional
Engineers and Engineering Technicians.

OFFERING A WIDE RANGE OF ENGINEERING SERVICES
INCIDENT ENERGY/ARC FLASH HAZARD ANALYSIS
An Incident Energy Analysis is the foundation upon which an
accurate Arc Flash Risk Assessment is built. Once you have the
Incident Energy Analysis, an Arc Flash Risk Assessment can be
completed. Also proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
and work practices are provided for your workers. According to
NFPA 70E, studies are to be updated when a major modification
or renovation of the electrical distribution system takes place.
NFPA 70E also states that studies are to be updated at intervals
that do not exceed five years. This takes into account any
changes in the electrical distribution system that could affect the
results of the Incident Energy Analysis. AVO Engineering Division
can also perform analysis for DC power systems as studies show
that DC systems greater than 50V can pose an Arc Flash Hazard.
ARC FLASH RISK ASSESSMENT
Our engineers facilitate an Arc Flash Risk Assessment (AFRA)
with key members of your staff. This gives a better understanding
of the current Electrical Safety Program and how related risk
elements are addressed and may be improved. The AFRA
is based on the latest standard of NFPA 70E and is used to
determine increased risk factors for employees who are, or may
be, exposed to an arc flash incident. Because the approach
to undertaking a AFRA can vary and be subjective, the AVO
approach includes all the necessary critical elements to help your
facility to meet the mandated OSHA requirements.
PROTECTIVE DEVICE COORDINATION
We analyze the characteristics of each protective device to
confirm the sequence in which they operate and provide an
adequate margin between the operating times of each device.
This can prevent an event such as a downstream fault tripping
an upstream breaker and shutting down the facility’s main power.
We also typically mitigate high incident energy levels which can
increase the arc flash hazard at a given location.
SHORT CIRCUIT STUDY
A short circuit study should be performed when an electrical
system is first designed and updated if major system modifications
or renovations occur. It should be done no less than every five
years due to probable changes in the utility contribution to the
power distribution system. A short-circuit study will determine if
your equipment is properly rated in the event of a fault within the
electrical distribution system.
LOAD FLOW STUDIES
A load flow study calculates the voltage drop on each feeder, the
voltage at each bus, and the power flow and losses in all branch
and feeder circuits.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
A Shock Hazard Analysis is included as a part of our Arc Flash
Incident Energy Analysis, and shock protection boundaries are
printed on the arc flash warning labels.
HARMONICS ANALYSIS
High harmonic distortion levels can wreak havoc upon a power
distribution system. We analyze your power system to determine
if there are distortion issues that may be caused by harmonics.
Harmonic distortion can be caused by an introduction of non-
linear loads upon a given power distribution system, such as
AC or DC motor drives variable frequency drives (VFDs), DC
converters, switch-mode power supplies, rectifiers, etc. Our
Harmonics Analysis meets the current IEEE 519 standard.
POWER QUALITY TESTING/POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
AVO uses the latest testing equipment and practices to perform
testing on the electrical equipment, including service entrance,
to determine the power quality, including power factor. A poor
power factor, typically less than 95%, could result in excess
penalties from the utility company. Power factor correction
recommendations are included as part of our full engineering
report. All AVO engineering reports are signed and sealed by a
Professional Engineer.
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY
We have Certified Infrared Level II and Level III technicians on staff.
These technicians are certified through the American Society for
Nondestructive Testing (ASNT). Infrared thermography allows the
surface temperature of the electrical distribution equipment to
be measured via an infrared scan. This determines if a potential
problem exists within the equipment. “Hot-spots” are seen as
visual images as well as other crucial data such as temperature.
These readings are provided within our report.
CLAMP-ON GROUND STUDY
AVO qualified technicians perform a clamp-on ground study on
the electrical equipment. Improper grounding can cause havoc
on an electrical distribution system, and in the event of a fault, can
cause harm or even death to someone working on improperly
grounded equipment. Resistance measurements are taken
with a clamp-on meter at each piece of electrical equipment to
verify the electrical equipment is solidly grounded, providing a
reliable low resistance path to ground in the event of a fault. A full
engineering report with recommendations is provided. The report
is signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer.
CIRCUIT TRACING
AVO technicians use the latest equipment and methods to trace
and identify all loads on the specified panelboards, switchboards,
or other electrical equipment. AVO prints and installs labels for
each traced circuit on the panelboard, switchboard, or other
electrical equipment while on site. AVO will also install a panel
schedule in a clear sleeve on the equipment.
TRANSIENT MOTOR STARTING ANALYSIS
In performing Transient Motor Starting Analysis, we simulate
starting electrical motors to look for potential power system
issues. Excessive voltage drops occurring during motor startup
that cause a problem on a distribution system are discovered.
