Residential / Industrial Electricity
Electricians assemble,
maintain and install electrical systems for heating,
lighting, power, air-conditioning and refrigeration.
The Residential/Industrial Electricity course
provides a thorough background in residential and
industrial wiring. Applicants for this course must
have completed ninth grade. During this three year
program, students receive specialized classroom,
shop and on-the-job experience in installing and
repairing electrical equipment, reading blueprints,
troubleshooting, and installing industrial wiring.
They also study motors, generators, transformers,
and of motor control.
FUNDAMENTALS OF
BASIC ELECTRICITY - 1cr
(Required) In this course the student is
introduced to the basic principals of electricity.
It also covers splicing of conductors and soldering.
The course then goes into the basic principals of
circuitry using low voltage bell wiring.
BASIC RESIDENTIAL CIRCUITRY - 1cr
This course puts emphasis
on the series and parallel circuits. The effects of
voltage, current and resistance in these circuits is
explored. The course then goes into basic
residential circuitry with relationship to the
National Electrical Code. Also the student is
trained how to operate the various meters.
RESIDENTIAL WIRING - 1cr
This course puts emphasis
on the more complex residential circuits. Including
switches, receptacles and various circuits. Floor
plans and electrical symbols with respect the N.E.C.
are studied.
RESIDENTIAL SERVICES AND
HEATING - 1cr
Here the aspects and code requirements for
installation of an electrical service are covered.
Also the changing over of an electrical service from
an older one to a new one is discussed with emphasis
on the N.E.C. Also electric baseboard heating is
covered along with circuit design and estimating of
heater size. ADVANCED ELECTRICAL
WIRING - 1cr
(Required) The aspects of low voltage remote
control wiring, wire mold, and installation of
fluorescent lighting are covered.
CONDUIT INSTALLATION - 1cr
This course covers the bending and installation
of various types of electrical conduit according to
the National Electric Code.
FUNDAMENTALS OF D.C. MOTORS
AND GENERATORS - 1cr
In this course magnetism is covered with respect to
the generation of D.C. Also the operation of DC
motors is covered. Industrial two and three wire
controls and covered.
FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGNETIC CONTROLS
- 1cr
This covers the various
types of industrial controls such as forward/reverse
controls, plugging and various switching devices.
ALTERNATING CURRENT AND MACHINERY
- 1cr
Here the course goes into
the theory of alternating current and circuitry. The
student is introduced to three phase systems,
operation of transformers as well as AC motors.
