ELCM 1993 - Industrial Electricity III



Credit hours: 4

Prerequisites: ELCM 1990 - Industrial Electricity II  

Course Description:
This course is a continuation of Industrial Electricity I and II courses in DC and AC circuits. Topics include atomic structure, current and voltage, resistance and power. Resonant response for capacitors and inductors are also discussed. The course includes fundamental AC concepts and phasor calculations for impedance, voltage, and current in RLC circuits. There will also be discussion of ladder logic and introduction to motors and transformers. The course topics are intended to parallel US Department of Labor approved apprenticeship programs such as that of the IBEW.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to:

  1. Understand Kirchh Off’s Laws, Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorems
  2. Understand filters such as low pass and high pass
  3. Understand power factor, power factor correction, power quality, power harmonics
  4. Understand semiconductor diodes, oscillators, IC 555 Timers, DIAC and TRIAC
  5. Identify power supplies; half-wave rectifier circuits, voltage regulations, full wave rectifiers
  6. Understand differential and operational amplifiers, controlling the gain of operational amplifiers, and differential amplifiers
