Electrical Foundation Training Certificate
Online – 96 hours
This program is excellent starting point for introducing electrical theory for cross training non-electrical employees or as a review for those technicians who have been away from the field for some time. Training includes: Theory of AC generation, DC principles, explores circuits, inductors, capacitors resistance and electrical motor operations. Mentor support along the way helps you understand difficult concepts.
Basic electrical theory such as Ohms Law, circuit schematic symbols, circuit characteristics, will be discussed as it specifically applies to DC & AC circuits in the HVAC/R industry. Six modules cover: Introduction to the industry, What is energy, Atomic theory, Basic circuits, Parallel circuits, Power.
A continuation of the Electrical 111 course, concepts presented and discussed are oriented towards alternating current production and application, specifically to devices utilized in HVAC/R systems. Six modules cover: Magnetism, Alternating current, Loads, resistive and Inductive, Capacitors, Impedance and power distribution, Transformers.
HVAC/R Electrical Common Components
This course covers common control components found in HVAC/R systems. Presentations and examples are given for specific devices and their electrical sequence of operation in normal HVAC/R applications. Six modules cover: Control Methods, Temperature & Pressure, Residential Heat/Cool Thermostats @ Low Voltage, Really Good Relay Stuff, Contactors go / Starters go with protection, Power wiring, Odds and ends around a schematic.
This course is dedicated to common single- phase and small three-phase electric motors. Presentations focus on basic motor theory, common types of motors, starting components and protection devices. Six modules cover: Basic electric motor theory, Shaded pole & split-phase motors, CSIR & CSR motors, PSC & multiple speed motors, Dual voltage and variable-speed motors, Basic three-phase motors.
