Basic Electrical Training
This essential four-day Basic Electricity course provides a foundational understanding of how electricity works in commercial and industrial settings. It includes hands-on skills improvement and is designed for maintenance technicians and other non-electrical personnel working in industrial plants and commercial buildings.
-
Basic Electricity
Begin with the basic principles of electricity to make it easier to grasp more advanced topics. Also, get to understand the principles of operation for specific equipment found on the job.
-
Basic Laws of Electrical Circuits
Master the basic laws of electrical circuits to successfully analyze typical problems with circuits and equipment. Here you will learn Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Law.
-
Conductors and Insulators
Learn the fundamentals of conductors and the means to prevent current flowing. After this course, be able to describe the characteristics of a good conductor, state the main classification types of conductors and list a minimum of five types of insulation.
-
Electrical Power
Understand the definition of electrical power and list different units to measure electrical power.
-
Electromagnetism
Learn the basic principles of electromagnetism to understand how motors, generators and servos work and how they are controlled. After the course, you will be able to describe the four characteristics of a magnet, the meaning of flux density, and the role of the "left-hand rule."
-
Resistors
Resistors are found in nearly every electrical and electronic circuit. Learn how to use Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Law to solve for unknown circuit quantities.
Upon completion of training, the student will receive a certification of completion with 16 classroom hours.
