PPT 123 - Electrical Systems
5.0 Credits
In this course, apprentices will learn about industrial electrical theory, components, and equipment necessary to troubleshoot electrical problems. Apprentices will begin by learning to interpret electrical symbols, diagrams, and terminology. They will explore topics such as electric power, circuits, wiring, and transformers. This course will also cover AC theory, motors, control circuits, industrial electronics, line diagrams, circuit logic, and programming, as well troubleshooting techniques. Apprentices will gain hands-on experience with electrical components, circuits, and electrical test equipment used in industry. Note: This class is part of an AJAC apprenticeship program.
