This course covers basic electrical mathematics including calculations for alternating curcuits and devices in both single-phase and three-phase distribution systems. Topic covered include AC/DC power; LED abd flourescent lighting; power; theories of voltage, resistance, power, and energy; electro-parallel circuits; meters; test equipment; transformers, motors, and control circuits. The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) is utilized in determining the correct installation of electrical services for single-family dwellings and multi-family  apartment complexes. 

This course covers the basics of commerical wiring. Topics include the planning of a typical commercial installation by carefully demonstrating how the load requirements are converted into branch circuits, then to feeders, and finally into a building's main electrical service. A set of plans will allow the student to go through the wring process, step by step, applying concepts learned  to an actual commercial building to meet Code requirements set forth by the National Electrical Code (NFPA70). Photovoltaic and wind technologies are introduced in a commercial application.

This course covers the fundamentals of blueprint drawing, proper sketching, and architectural views with common scales used on blueprints for typical wiring and the components for single and multiple family dwellings, commercial and industrial systems with special  purpose sustems for specialized locations. Other toopics include blueprint specifications, elevations, schedules, and drawing and mechanical symbols used on blueprints.  

Review of methods and requirements for elcetrical system analysis as reflected by the current National Electrical Code. Topics include installing electrical services, pools, fountains, emergency building systems over 600-volts, calculating racewayfill, parameters of range loads, multiple family dwellings loads, and preparing to take the NEC competency examinations.
