Description

Objective:

The course objective is to prepare students for completion of the Second Year Residential Wiremen Bundle. This bundle is a combination of the following courses: Orientation; Residential Job Information 2; AC Theory, Level I; DC Theory; Codeology; Conduit Fabrication; Blueprints; Residential Wiring Practices; Inside Job Information 1; Residential Code 2 and Residential Motors and Transformers. Students will examine DC parallel circuits, DC combination circuits, magnetism and generators, and DC analysis tools that electrical workers will find invaluable in analyzing and understanding more complex circuits likely to be encountered on the job. Basic to complex AC circuits are taught using basic algebra, trigonometry and vector math. This course provides a comprehensive overview of conduit bending procedures and methods. The student will expand his/her knowledge of the wiring methods that are used to cover the installation of wires and cables in different types of raceways. They will also learn how to install wire and cables in dwelling units, as well as, lighting and receptacle circuits.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify different electrical symbols and outlets associated with residential wiring
  • Draw up a residential blueprint and takeoff
  • Work with inductors that are in series and/or parallel connections
  • Demonstrate how to install wire and cable in dwelling units.
  • Apply the NEC's Plan-Build-Use chapters
  • Compare direct current to alternating current
  • Explain inductance and how it affects a circuit
  • Demonstrate how to use vectors effectively
  • Compare the similarities and differences in series and parallel RLC circuits
  • List the branch-circuit requirements for dwelling units

General Topics:

  • AC Theory, Blueprints, Codeology, Conduit Fabrication, DC Theory, Job Information 1, Orientation, Residential Code 2, Residential Job Information 2, Residential Motors and Transformers, and Residential Wiring Practices
