Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to identify electrical components and their relationships to the various repair and troubleshooting techniques. The materials in this course will prove useful to service technicians whose background in electricity is limited. The course includes material from basic electrical theory to troubleshooting complex electrical circuits. This course will provide practice in the application of electrical theory as well as in the interconnection of components of heating and cooling systems. The student will be required to provide ANSI Z87 safety glasses and may be expected to provide other basic hand tools and/or equipment. This is a beginning course in electrical theory that is required for HVAC, electrical and power plant technology but is appropriate for all interested students. Common components found in the HVAC industry are used to develop these skills. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
