Electrical Fundamentals
Course #109

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed for entry level mechanics. The course will introduce mechanics to the fundamentals of Industrial electricity. The fundamental concepts of atomic structure, units of measurement, current flow, the relationship of coulombs to amperes, ohms law calculations, Kirchhoff's law, and the use of multi-meters are studied in detail. Each student will get a opportunity to wire circuits, measure voltage and current and apply ohms law in practical applications.
