ELCM 1994 - Industrial Electricity IV

Credit hours: 3

Prerequisites:

Course Description:
This is the final course in DC and AC circuits. Topics include atomic structure, current and voltage, resistance and power. Ohm’s Law and series and parallel circuits are covered. Transient response for capacitors and inductors are also discussed. The course includes advanced AC and DC concepts. 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:

Understand grounding and bonding based on the NEC including phase and equipment grounding.
Understand ground faults, short circuits and grounding at separate buildings
Understand the principles and methods used for Earth testing
Understand overcurrents: overloads, short circuits and ground faults and selecting devices to protect against them (V, A, IR).
Understand branch circuits, feeders & services
Understand motor overload and single phasing protection
Understand Motor Branch Circuits - Article 430 and Transformer Protection - Article 450
