• Intermediate or transitioning Meter Technicians
• Lineworkers
• Supervisors or Managers transitioning from other departments
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to successfully:
- Demonstrate a foundational knowledge of how electricity is measured through meters.
- Practice advanced applications of meter installations and measurements.
- Apply advanced programming, testing and design concepts to real-world applications.
- Develop a system design that demonstrates a deep understanding of the system’s configuration.
- Recognize applicable standards and specifications such as the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC).
- Demonstrate an understanding of meter multipliers.
- Test the impacts of metering on billing and revenue protection.
COURSE PREREQUISITES
Students are expected to have completed NEPPA’s Basic Electricity and Mathematics for Utility Operations and Metering I programs, and/or demonstrate a solid understanding of basic electricity concepts, theory, and mathematics through prequalification testing.
TESTING
This Program includes a Final Exam to demonstrate comprehension of the material (25 Questions).

INSTRUCTOR
John Lanciani
Trainer
John grew up in Littleton, MA, graduating in 1988 and became an Apprentice Electrician for Interstate Electric. In 1990, he started working for Littleton Electric Light Department as an Apprentice Lineman, completing NEPPA’s Line School in 1994. John worked his way up from Journeyman Lineman to Engineering Technician, gaining skills on the more technical aspects of distribution such as substations, scada and automated distribution. He oversaw the meter department, planning for and installing Littleton Electric Light Department’s first AMR system and upgrading all metering to solid state. In the early 2000s, he worked to upgrade their substation by replacing the oil filled breakers with air insulated as well as replacing all mechanical relays w/ solid state. In 2005, John took on a supervisory role, overseeing line crews for after-hours coverage. He has been involved with public power his whole life, as his father was a lineman in Sterling, MA in the 50’s before becoming the Manager in Paxton and then Littleton. NEPPA is happy to have his expertise as an instructor, helping to expand NEPPA’s training program with this knowledge and experience.
