General Information

Purpose and Mission The North Carolina Electric Meter School & Conference provides you with an excellent opportunity to learn all aspects of metering in a school environment. The basic principles and continuing education credits (CEUs) are provided for metering personnel with interest in single phase or polyphase equipment.

You’ll gain a valuable exposure to metering applications and the processing of information gathered from metering, presented in advanced and management levels of instruction. Advanced and management level attendees will take away knowledge of problems, resources, and solutions helping to meet the changing environment of the electric industry.

Metering and utility personnel can increase their knowledge of substations and distribution equipment through two tracks. Information will be presented from utility experience as well as vendor perspectives.

Annually, the North Carolina Electric Meter School & Conference brings together meter personnel from the electric utility industry to present important information on common problems, standard practices, procedures, and new technologies. The school is open to any and all persons interested in this opportunity.

Continuing Education Units The successful completion of the single phase or polyphase track entitles participants to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The CEU is a nationally recognized unit of measurement designed to record an individual’s non-credit continuing education accomplishments permanently in increments of 1 CEU per 10 contact hours of instruction. A minimum of 90% attendance is required. Requests for a transcript must be made in writing by individual program participants to the Office of the Vice Provost for Continuing Education, NC State University, McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education, Campus Box 7401, Raleigh, NC 27695-7401. The request must include the participant’s date of birth and NC State personal ID number. The cost for a transcript is $10.00 made payable to NC State University. You may also request and pay for your transcript through your student log-in at www.continuingeducation.ncsu.edu.

Attention: Professional Engineers The North Carolina Electric Meter School & Conference is an approved sponsor of continuing professional competency activities for qualifying North Carolina Professional Engineers and Registered Land Surveyors. Upon course completion, each participant may receive 18 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). Note: These PDHs are only for participants with a North Carolina Professional Engineering license.

Non-paid no shows who registered by phone, fax, Internet or mail will be billed.

Reference Standard Calibration CheckAn added benefit is being offered to you during the conference at no additional charge. After registering, and while attending the conference, please stop by the Oxford room reserved by Radian Research/ WECO to have your reference standard(s) tested against a Radian NIST traceable 0.01% Reference Standard. You will receive a printed and/or electronic “Report of Calibration” which provides the accuracy of your standard at all common loading conditions.

If you think you are up to the challenge, test your meter calibration knowledge by taking a fun quiz. In addition, receive a packet explaining the importance of regular calibration of your equipment.

BanquetA “Coastal Country” banquet for conference participants and their guests will be held on Wednesday evening, June 25, at the Embassy Suites. The banquet is included in the registration fee. Guest tickets are available at $50 each. Youth tickets for those ages 15-18 are available for $25 each. Tickets for children up to age 14 are available at no fee. Dress is casual. A social will begin at 6:00 p.m. followed by the banquet at 7:00 p.m.

Accommodations Headquarters for the 2014 North Carolina Electric Meter School & Conference will be:
