Principles of Electro Technology TS4U-MOD2
Contact usThis science workshop gives you the foundation knowledge to fully understand how and why electrical systems works, which is essential when considering progression onto City and Guilds 2391 Inspection and Testing and other contractor short courses.
This theory workshop explains the science of electro technology. Why things work? Why circuit breakers work? What do transformer do? what is electricity? From voltage to Ohm's law interesting and essential information for the electrical contractor.
The main objective of this module is to give you the foundation knowledge of science and electrical fundamentals to fully understand how and why an electrical system works which is essential when considering progression onto the City & Guilds 2391 Testing and Inspection , ECO PV installation , Contractor short Courses and into the lucrative opportunities of commercial electrical installations where a deeper understanding is required.
DAY 1
Fundamentals of electricity:
Electron theory including atomic elements and free electrons
Charge and attraction
Coulomb’s Law
Conductors, Insulators and Semiconductors
Current
Voltage
Resistance
Electrical symbols and mathematical prefixes.
DAY 2
Simple electrical circuit theory:
Ohm’s Law
Using digital multimeters to measure resistance, voltage and current
Practical workshop including the building a simple electrical circuits calculating the expected value of current and measuring the actual resistance, voltage and current
DC series circuits, this follows the theory then practical route
DC parallel circuits, again this follows the theory then practical route reinforcing the use of previously learnt techniques.
DAY 3
DC series – parallel circuits, following the same pattern as the previous day
Power, solving power problems using power formulae
Magnetism
Electromagnetism and electromagnets.
DAY 4
Introduction to AC, sine waves, single and 3 phase supplies
AC generation
Frequency
Voltage and current, peak, instantaneous and RMS values
Relationship between line and phase voltage in a 3 phase system
Transformer theory, calculation and practical.
DAY 5
Capacitance theory, calculation and practical
Inductance theory, calculation and practical
Impedance theory, and calculation of circuit impedance.
