What this Course is about and what you will learn. Why its important to understand where electricity comes from and qualifications of your instructor.
Use safe procedures.
Plugs and Receptacles Found in North America that follow NEMA Codes. IEC will be different.
The Differences you may find in other countries varies depending on which electric code is followed.
How to use Ohms Law and Watts law in Resistive Circuits.
These follow NEMA Code as found in North America. Fuse selection and Breaker operation remain the same internationally though wiring configurations may vary.
In this course you will get an breif description of how electricty is made and how that creation reacts as it goes through its delivery to the devices we commonly see and use. Understanding the reaction of electricity and how each component reacts will give you a better ability to understand failures. When you have a failure, you will know why. Electricity uses a series of magnetic fields to get to the components we work with, those magentic fields induce the work being done on our end. In each Component section we will describe how the component works in its simplest form. The course is designed to avoid heavy confusing equations typically used in electrical design but still touching on some easy to use equations commonly used. This course covers how electric flows, what it flows through and what it does not flow through. It covers how to use typical meters. It covers some basic readings to use with your meter. It covers testing of each component we describe, again in the simplest way possible. This course also covers some applications components may be used in and some common failures. This course also covers common connectors, insulation and wire types.
