In the accumulated wisdom from
others who have faced similar
challenges in many situations and
know what works (and what
doesn’t!) in “real world” applications
like yours.
In determining solutions that are
cost-effective and practical for the
problems that are discussed at your
seminar, many of which can then be
applied to your situations.

demonstrating techniques used to
evaluate TVSS performance

The effects on SPD performance that
may be created by an installer,
either positive or negative

IEEE and CEUs
The CEU is a currency that measures a person's participation
in a formal, non-credit continuing education program, such as
a workshop, seminar, tutorial, or self-study course.
One CEU is equal to ten contact hours of instruction in a
continuing education activity. Any activity less than one hour
in duration is not eligible for CEUs.
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SURGES CREATE
MANY PROBLEMS THAT WILL HURT
YOUR PROFITS, CAUSE DOWNTIME
AND COST YOU MONEY!
IF YOUR EQUIPMENT IS NOT PROTECTED,
IT IS AT RISK. SO, ASK YOURSELF…
“WHAT CAN I AFFORD TO LOSE?”
Currently, thirty states (PDF, 57 KB) require Professional
Development Hours to maintain P.E. licensure, encouraging
engineers to seek CEUs for their participation in Continuing
Education Programs. IEEE CEUs readily translate into PDHs
(1 CEU = 10 PDHs). Evidence of participation in these courses
also helps engineers meet company training requirements.
IEEE maintains an official registry of all CEUs awarded. This
makes accounting to state licensing boards an easier task for
engineers. It also helps IEEE organizational units keep track
of seminar/tutorial participants.
