Course Outline:
This topical program provides trainees with the courseware materials that prepares them for the trade of Electrical Technology. Trainees will receive a comprehensive foundation in math and measurement skills, and in electrical principles and measurements. In addition to the conceptual coverage in the courses, trainees can gain practical experience through a series of “hands-on” experiments they can perform on the XK-100 Measurements Trainer. (The trainer and associated experiment manual are available on an optional basis.) Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
  • Demonstrate the correct and safe use of the following hand tools: hammers, screwdrivers, chisels, files, knives, wrenches, and hand saws.
  • State the correct practice to avoid electric shock when using electric tools and describe a procedure for the treatment of electrical shock.
  • Work with fractions, decimals, ratios, and conversion factors.
  • Perform the basic arithmetic operations with signed numbers and terms.
  • Explain how voltage, current, and resistance are related.
  • Use Ohm’s law to solve electrical calculations.
  • Identify basic schematic symbols.
  • Explain the concept of generator action and motor action.
  • Explain how alternators operate.
  • Discuss how transformers are constructed.
  • Discuss how ohmmeters, voltmeters, and ammeters are used.
  • Describe how to use electrical measuring instruments for troubleshooting.
