Basic Electricity

Who should attend?

Designed for field and plant personnel, supervisors and others with the need to learn the practical application of electricity. This course is excellent for new electrical personnel and cross-training.

Course Description:

Basic Electricity is an introductory course designed to present the basic concepts of electricity from a practical point of view. The student will understand the use of the devices that are discussed and gain a sense of how they work. The course assumes a solid working knowledge of mathematics including fractions, power of ten, solving simple equations, basic geometry, and elementary trigonometric functions.

The course is a combination of the ideas and views expressed in many standard textbooks, however, it was developed from a practical background of more than 30 years of working, and teaching in electrical and electronics fields. Basic Electricity is not intended as a troubleshooting course; however, students will become familiar with some troubleshooting basics by understanding and answering questions given at the end.

Presentations will be focused on the needs of the participants, rather than a strict outline. Participants are asked to ask questions regarding electrical systems and their operation and components and practical examples are used to broaden their understanding. Each student receives a course text and a copy of Ugly’s Electrical References.

Lab vs. Lecture Time:

Approximately 50% hands-on lab time vs. 50% lecture. This will vary with the actual class.
