Understanding Basic Electricity For Electrical Safety
This course prepares the student to understand basic theorems as applied to codes and standards. Participants will be trained in:
-
- The Four Secrets of Electricity
- Three Phase and Single Phase Systems
- AC/DC Theory as applied in real world situations to codes and standards
- Basic Understanding of Circuitry, Motors, and Transformer Theory (as applied to codes and standards applications)
This course prepares the student from a practical standpoint to understand:
-
- Power laws
- Overcurrent Protection
- Wiring Methods
This course will give the participant a greater understanding of how theory is applied to codes and standards.
The participant will learn the theoretical intent and purpose of code making bodies and how codes and standards are applied in real world situations
