| Title |
| Understanding Electricity and Electrical Components (5 credit hours/5 HSW Hours) |
| Course Description |
|
This 5 hour course introduces basic electrical concepts for those who wish to obtain a basic understanding of electricity before taking more advanced courses in electrical applications. The course covers DC and AC electrical theory, with an emphasis on concepts that are particularly useful for understanding the many codes and standards that apply to the design and installation of various electrical systems. It also explains the purposes, characteristics and operation of wire, fuses, circuit breakers, disconnects, capacitors, inductors, safety devices, transformers and surge protection. The course provides numerous examples of calculating important quantities such as voltage drop, wire size, transformer size and fuse or circuit breaker size.
