Topics include DC and AC principles, circuit analysis laws and theorems, components, test equipment operation, circuit simulation software, and other related topics. Topics include magnetic terms and calculations, transformer calculations based on primary or secondary equivalent circuits, and generator regulation and efficiency calculations. Topics include control devices, synchronous and induction single and polyphase AC motors, DC motors, stepper, and special purpose motors. Upon completion, students should be able to perform regulation and efficiency calculations and apply motor theory to practical control applications. This course covers the fundamentals of instrumentation used in industry.
Emphasis is on electric, electronic, and pneumatic instruments.
Upon completion, students should be able to design, install, maintain, and calibrate instrumentation. This course introduces the theory of maintenance and the skills necessary to maintain electrical equipment used in industrial and commercial facilities. Topics include maintenance theory, predictive and preventive maintenance, electrical equipment operation and maintenance, and maintenance documentation. Upon completion, students should be able to perform maintenance on electrical equipment in industrial and commercial facilities. This course continues the study of the programming and applications of programmable logic controllers.
