The laboratory experiments closely parallel and are correlated with electric theory. Provides experience in the selection and use of test instruments such as the ammeter, voltmeter, VOM, Wheatstone bridge, megger, ohmmeter, wattmeter, and oscilloscope. The student is thus enabled to analyze basic DC circuits and to prove and better understand the theory fundamentals. A continuation of 07351, Electric Laboratory I, with emphasis on electromagnetic electro statics, and the AC circuits, provides further experience in the selection of proper instrument for use in AC circuit. The use of the voltmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, amprobe, capacitor analyzer, and other instruments enable the student to prove out theory and better understand the principles and characteristics of electrical devices.
Individual research is encouraged to enable the student to keep abreast of field development.
The students learn how to connect, test and operate transformers, motors, generators, and basic control element. Magnetic and electronic controls are connected, operated, tested, adjusted and analyzed. The calculator, basic algebra, angles and right triangles are covered with the emphasis on the solution of direct current circuit problems. An overview of the drafting field as it relates to the occupational requirements in Electrical Construction and Maintenance. Emphasis is placed on reading and analyzing prints.
