Basic Electricity/Electronics – 32 Hours

Basic Electricity/Electronics training course is a general introduction to industrial electrical systems. The course teaches a basic understanding of how electrical equipment and systems operate in industrial, commercial and institutional facilities. Students will be presented with practical, real-world examples that illustrate how power is distributed and used in plants and facilities.
The course will also deal with “Working with Industrial Electricity” – discussions and activities focus on real-world, everyday electrical tasks performed on the job.
This Basic Electricity/Electronics training course is designed to meet the training needs of those new to the electrical maintenance field of the daily troubleshooting of industrial electrical equipment. It is appropriate for electrical maintenance personnel in need of a review of electrical basics and an introduction to more complicated industrial electrical systems, integration, and electrical test equipment. The course is also ideal for mechanical maintenance personnel that has responsibility for plant electrical maintenance activities. This Basic Electricity/Electronics training course can be customized to specific components, test equipment, and documentation.
Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to:
Explain the basic concepts of AC and DC electrical current flow.
Calculate voltage, wattage, resistance, current and power factor values.
Select appropriate test equipment for taking voltage measurements.
Interpret multi-meter readings.
Identify the circuit effects of resistors, inductors, and capacitors.
