Course Outline:
The Electrical Maintenance Apprentice / Career Skills curriculum provides trainees with the courseware materials required to enable them to perform the tasks associated with a Plant Electrician. This print-based curriculum has been developed to meet the subject requirements set forth in the standards established by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT). When combined with on-the-job training, this program will provide apprentices/trainees with the comprehensive skills and knowledge they will need to perform in this trade area. The recommended Electrical Maintenance curriculum starts with pre-technical foundation skills courses. It progresses through electrical principles, electrical equipment and components, electrical motors and motor controllers, and the skills needed by a Plant Electrician. Operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting procedures are emphasized. Upon completion of this curriculum, students will be able to:
  • Perform arithmetic calculations and work with fractions, decimals, ratios, and conversion factors.
  • Explain how voltage, current, and resistance are related by Ohm’s Law.
  • Identify basic schematic symbols and read electrical drawings.
  • Use electrical measuring instruments for troubleshooting.
  • Explain the construction and operation of motors, generators, and transformers.
  • Perform the important steps for general maintenance and troubleshooting techniques using the required tools.
  • Use the National Electrical Code Handbook effectively.
