Basic Electrical Course

Service Description

This forty hour training course covers the basics DC (direct current) theory and fundamentals. Course topics include concepts of electrical schematics, components, voltage, current and resistance. Ohms Law is used extensively to verify the results obtained from the outcomes of the lab experiments. Power supplies and test equipment like the digital volt Ohm meter will be operated to make observations of circuit parameters and operation. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Upon completion of this module the trainees will be able to understand basic electrical theory and applications. Through lecture and hands on exercises, students will understand OHM’s law, voltage, current and resistance measurement using a multi-meter and will wire electric circuits from a schematic. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this module the trainee will be able to: · Understand the theory and applications of electrical and electronics as it applies to a broad base of technologies. · Understand what electricity is, Learn Ohms Law · Learn the structure of matter and semiconductor theory · Learn how to operate a digital multi-meter, power supplies and scope meter · Know the difference between conductors and insulators · Know how to identify a short or an open · Measure current, voltage and resistance · Construct series, parallel and series parallel circuits · Understand how to operate an AC DC power supply · Understand remote operations of a servo motor · Study magnetic fields · Understand capacitance and inductance · Study transformer action and AC Phasing characteristics · Set up and test Inductive, Capacitive and Optical Proximity Sensors · Study Reed and Synchronizing Switches Lunch provided.
