Learning Outcomes: define magnetism, describe key properties of magnetic materials, and explain the molecular theory of magnetism discuss electromagnetism and understand key properties of electromagnetic fields along with common magnetic quantities understand the measurement systems for magnetic quantities, and describe key properties of electromagnets explain permeability as it relates to ferromagnetic materials along with developing an understanding of saturation as it relates to transformers define turns ratio of the windings, explain various forms of mutual induction and identify common transformer power losses explain power factor and how impedance plays a big role in transformer performance and short circuit stress understand transformer design including core types, cooling methods, coolants, and temperature rise identify common transformer fittings and accessories. You will also understand power ratings and the difference between true power and reactive power describe connections in a single-phase circuit and explain how polarity is determined describe a 3-phase circuit. Define and describe various connections including: delta-to-wye, wye-to-wye, wye-to-delta, and delta-to-delta describe an open delta connection, describe a delta connection with high leg to ground, and how polarity is determined in a 3-phase transformer recognize the physical connections of a 3-phase dry type transformer normally used to provide power to a commercial building recognize the physical connections of three sets of single-phase transformer configured to make a 3-phase bank define and describe odd-numbered, even-numbered, and triplen harmonics define and explain total harmonic distortion, related concepts, and common sources of harmonics understand harmonic effect on neutral currents and describe common methods of reducing harmonics problems describe the process of power generation and the power distribution network explain the function of system shutoff devices and causes of power blackouts describe the process of system startup and identify methods of synchronizing power sources General Topics: Magnetism and electromagnetism Transformers operation principles Transformer connections Real world transformer connections Harmonics Power generation and distribution Instruction & Assessment Section 4 Content Section 4 Content Left Section 4 Content Right Instructional Strategies: Audio Visual Materials Classroom Exercise Computer Based Training Discussion Lectures Methods of Assessment: Other Performance Rubrics (Checklists) Presentations Quizzes Classroom Participation Supplemental Materials Section 5 Content Section 5 Content Left Section 5 Content Right Equivalencies Section 6 Content Section 6 Content Left Section 6 Content Right Button Content Rail Content 1 Other offerings from electrical training ALLIANCE View All Courses College Credit Opportunities Page Content
