« back to classes page


Decrease production downtime, improve efficiency, and increase output by understanding electricity and how to work with it safely.  This course has been specifically developed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required to enable them to work safely and effectively with electricity.  The lab components of the training offer the learner the opportunity to build, test, and troubleshoot AC/DC circuits and to examine the operating voltages and currents related to proper circuit operation.  Learners will use various instruments to make circuit measurements and calculations.

LEARN THE SKILLS (AC/DC):
  • Explain the working principles of an electrical circuit.
  • Safely and effectively measure an electrical circuit.
  • Identify, sketch, and describe the basic electrical components and devices.
  • Build, test, and troubleshoot basic electrical circuits.
  • Read basic electrical circuit diagrams.
  • Calculate impedance and inductive/capacitive reactance.
  • Safely and effectively measure an AC electrical circuit using a DMM.
  • Measure AC waveforms using an oscilloscope.
  • Determine waveform frequency using an oscilloscope.
Included:  Basic concepts of electrical circuits, both in direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC), Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws, use of measuring instruments (voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters), solving series and parallel circuits, electromagnetism, electrical distribution, troubleshooting electrical circuits, and exploration of the most common electrical components: power sources, resistors, inductors, capacitors, transformers, switches, relays, and motors.

LEARN THE SKILLS (Multimeter):
  • Explain how DMs are commonly used in various technical industries.
  • Explain how Insulation Testers are commonly used in various technical industries.
  • Explain the importance of high impedance in a DMM.
  • Verify a meter is safe to use before operation.
  • Demonstrate how to perform safe and accurate voltage measurements, resistance measurements, and amperage measurements.
  • Describe the additional features available when using the function buttons.
  • Demonstrate how to perform safe and accurate insulation test measurements.
  • Demonstrate how to perform safe and accurate non-intrusive amperage measurements.
Included:  Multimeter controls and operation, meter display readings and symbols, importance of proper terminal connections, basic applications, hands-on operation activities, and troubleshooting techniques.
