ESP 2050 - AC Circuits II

Clock Hours: 90

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Prerequisites: AC I

Industry Certifications CertTEC BEE AC troubleshooting certification

Course Description:
This course provides the student with additional understanding of AC circuits. It is a continuation of AC Circuits I. This course includes circuit fault analysis experiments, RC circuit transients, effects of capacitance on non-sinusoidal waveforms, effects of long and short time constants, transformer theory and relays and switches. The students should be able to describe typical faults in RC transient circuits, verify, measure and calculate series and parallel resonance values. Proper techniques for troubleshooting faulted series and parallel circuits will be presented.
