Basic Electricity

Catalog description

Electrical theory is applied to the duties of an electrician in this course. Fundamental laws of electricity, units of measure, and simple circuit analysis are included. Students study simple DC circuits and continue through single-phase and three-phase AC circuit principles. Laboratory activities include the safe and correct use of electrical testing equipment and basic electrical construction tools. Upon completion, students will have a clear understanding of electrical properties, units of measure in electricity, series circuits, parallel circuits, as well as basic DC and AC circuit characteristics. Lecture 2 hours/Laboratory 2 hours/ Total 4 hours per week.
