ELECTRICITY IIB This course covers the basics of commercial 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 wiring 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.
