Decrease production downtime, improve efficiency and increase output – All hinges on understand electricity and how to work with it safely. These industry recognized certifications have been specifically developed to give students the knowledge and skills required to enable them to work safely and effectively with electricity. The lab components of the training offer the student the opportunity to build, test and troubleshoot AC/DC circuits and examine the operating voltages and currents related to proper circuit operation. Technicians will use various instruments to make circuit measurements and calculations.

Topics covered include the following:
  • Basic concepts of electrical circuits, both in direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC)
  • Ohm’s law
  • Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws
  • Using measuring instruments (voltmeters, ammeters, ohmmeters, etc.)
  • Solving series and parallel circuits
  • Electromagnetism
  • Electrical distribution
  • Troubleshooting electrical circuits
  • Exploration of the most common electrical components: power sources, resistors, inductors, capacitors, transformers, switches, relays, motors
Potential Certification: Upon successful completion of this course, students will earn the NC-3 Industry 4.0 Certifications in AC Electricity and DC Electricity.
