Knowledge of electrical laws and principles pertaining to AC and DC circuits is important in many industrial settings.  Concepts including current, voltage, resistance, power, inductance, capacitance, and transformers are critical in electrical systems.  This course presents standard electrical tests, electrical equipment, and troubleshooting procedures.  Safety procedures and practices are also introduced and emphasized.

Benefits to your organization

• Minimize accidents

• Increase productivity

• Increase electrical skill level of your employees

• Improve professionalism

• Decrease the costs associated with electrical repair and outside vendors

Course Objectives

• Demonstrate proper safety precautions related to equipment.

• Define the following terms: voltage, resistance, current amperage, direct current, alternating current, and power supply.

• Identify electrical components and form a schematic diagram.

• Identify types of electrical mechanical switches (SPDT, DPDT, etc.)

• Use Ohm's Law to calculate voltage, current, and resistance problems.

• Perform voltage, current, and resistance measurements using the proper measurement devices (both analog and digital meters).

• Identify values of resistors and capacitors.

• Calculate voltage, current, and resistance in simple series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits.

• Identify types of power sources (AC and DC).

• Explain the characteristics of simple AC voltage generation and AC waveforms (sine-wave, square-wave, and triangle-wave).

• Explain the basic principles and operation of transformers.

• Describe the concepts of both DC and AC inductance and capacitance.

• Calculate values for AC and DC resistive, inductive, and capacitive components.

• Set up and execute simple laboratory exercises.

• Use meters to identify and measure results of AC and DC laboratory exercises.
