Description

Objective:

The course objective is to prepare students for completion of the 4th Year Inside Blended Learning Bundle. This bundle is a combination of the following courses: Code Calculations, Level I, Blueprints, Level III, Grounding and Bonding, Level II, Motors, Level I, Motor Control, Level I. It provides a review of blueprints and an understanding of industrial specifications and industrial prints. Students will complete math-related tasks associated with the electrical construction industry. Also, learn the ground fault protection of equipment and special location requirements for grounding and bonding. Students will understand the basic magnetic motor and then advance to the use of electronic devices, such as electronic sensors, electronic timers, solid-state relays, and solid-state motor starters in motor control. They will learn and understand the role of electronic devices in motor control. This course also provides the basic concepts and formulas that apply to electromagnetism and induction of motors. It teaches students how to troubleshoot motors and decide an appropriate course of action for repair.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand what materials are necessary for blueprint reading and learn where they are to be installed prior to the start of a job
  • Understand grounding electrode system and the grounding electrode conductor, along with the bonding and grounding of enclosures and equipment
  • Understand the use of electronic devices, such as electronic sensors, electronic timers, solid-state relays, and solid-state motor starters in motor control
  • Understand starting and braking of motors and the principles of electronic variable-speed
  • Demonstrate how to troubleshoot motors and decide an appropriate course of action for repair
  • Complete a residential take-off and price quotation
  • Understand common installation, startup, and checkout procedures of a fire alarm system
  • Draw and recognize common scales and symbols for residential, commercial, and industrial environments
  • Demonstrate math-related tasks associated with the electrical construction industry
  • Understand the role of electronic devices in motor control, including introductions to speed control such as variable frequency ac drives or electronic dc motor drives
  • Explain the basic concepts and formulas that apply to electromagnetism and induction of motors
  • Identify various motors such as polyphase, wound-rotor, synchronous, and single-phase
  • Identify NEC overcurrent protection requirements (primarily 600V or less) with practical application material
  • Draw and recognize common scales and symbols for residential, commercial, and industrial environments
