Mathematics for Overhead Line Designers

The Mathematics for Overhead Line Designers course was developed in response to feedback from those who participated in the micro-credential in Overhead Line Design who felt their mathematics knowledge needed refreshing before beginning the technical modules.

The course is not a compulsory part of the micro-credential but is recommended.

The course is suitable for technical engineers and electrical tradespeople who work as a line designer and are aware of gaps in their knowledge of the mathematics involved. Participants will already have a basic understanding of electrical theory and NCEA Level 1 (or equivalent) mathematics skills.

Theoretical knowledge and skills are shared through two stand-alone modules delivered in webinar workshops. Practice is undertaken as homework between workshops, and ‘cheat-sheets’ are provided as takeaways to help you in your job.

Programme structure

The modules include:

· Module 1 – Algebraic equations (delivered in three 1.5hr workshops)

· Module 2 – Trigonometry (delivered in two 1.5hr workshops)

Upon completion of these modules, you will be able to:

· Perform basic mathematic calculations

· Interpret and use engineering formulae

· Check engineering design calculations
