Prerequisites: APR 124 or TE 9615. Audit available.
Intended Outcomes for the course
- Calculate voltage, amperage, resistance, power, power factor, conductor size, inductance, inductive and capacitive reactance, and impedance found in the heavy industrial workplace per NEC tables and requirements and as they apply to subsequent courses.
- Demonstrate safe working conditions in accordance with state and federal regulations. *
- Describe and apply basic theory of electrical sources. *
* required for statewide Apprenticeship degree
