Abstract
The primary purpose of this course is to familiarize the student with wiring methods commonly used in industry, as well as the National Electrical Code (Article 79) requirements for industrial power and control installations. A heavy focus will be on power
distribution, from the buss line (bus bar) to distribution panels, to branch circuits. Students will focus on installation of various types of conduit and wire, overcurrent protection and
troubleshooting of electrical systems. Students will wire and troubleshoot IEC and NEMA
control and power components, as well as VFD units, based on industry standards. This is a hands-on course, with the underlying theory of proper installation for personal safety and circuit protection. After completing this course the student will:
1. Install flexible & rigid conduit into electrical enclosures for power & control circuits.
2. Determine the size and type of conduit and conductors used for power and control circuits.
3. Terminate conductors for power and control circuits in an industrial environment.
4. Install and troubleshoot electrical circuits with switches and duplex receptacles.
5. Install and troubleshoot a single phase electrical branch circuit.
6. Install and troubleshoot a three phase electrical branch circuit.
7. Determine the size and type of overcurrent protection to use in industrial electrical circuits.
8. Determine the size and method of grounding an electrical circuit, and electrical equipment.
9. Install and troubleshoot a motor branch circuit
