In this 4-day, 32-hour
class is
designed around an individual that has some knowledge of multimeter usage and
has some identification with basic electrical components. Schematic symbols
will be introduced as they appear on wiring diagrams. Pictures as well as
illustrations of typical control devices will be introduced along with
associated equipment & hardware. The student will build a very basic
circuit on a simulated panel board using a schematic. The student will
troubleshoot any errors made in the build process, and any problems introduced
by the instructor. Control panel standards along with wiring techniques will be
implemented in classroom assignments. NEMA, CSA & IEC standards will be
introduced along with applicable National Electrical Codes. Relay logic control
circuits will also be constructed from diagrams of actual circuits found in
today’s machine control. Some of these circuits include start stop, limits,
control, safety and holding.
Prerequisites: Experience with basic wiring, hand tools, and DVM meter usage
Please note: Registration will close two weeks before the start of class.
