Applied electricity is a must for anyone that will be servicing
Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Heating Units. Students are introduced to Basic Electricity, Theory & Wiring Symbols, Schematics, A.C. Current Fundamentals,
Single Phase Motors and Meters for Trouble Shooting.

Introduction to Electricity Introduces electrical terminology and basic concepts to students with limited knowledge of electricity. Covers Ohm's Law, power, series and parallel circuits.

Electrical Components and Their Symbols Introduces basic AC, magnetism, and common
electrical components. Begins the coverage of wiring diagrams and their symbology by
constructing a very basic circuit diagram.

Wiring Diagrams Discusses safety practices and introduces additional electrical components. Step-by-step construction of a simplified wiring diagram; covering power, control, and load circuits for a typical packaged air conditioner with electric heat.

Wiring Diagram Exercises Covers step-by-step construction of a wiring diagram for a heat pump to teach more advanced diagram reading skills and control circuit concepts.

Electric Meters and Their Uses Discusses the construction of various types of meters and explains their applications. Sample problems illustrate the use of meters in electrical
troubleshooting and testing.

Alternating Current Fundamentals Expands on basic AC concepts covers in Modules 1 and 2 as the basis for understanding AC motors and AC power. Covers basic  concepts of motors and generators, capacitors, phase shift, and power distribution systems.

Motor Fundamentals and Motor Protection Covers basic theory and operation of common single-phase and three-phase AC induction motors, including motor starting circuits.
Describes the various types of protective devices used with motors.

Electronic Devices and Circuits Discusses basic concepts, packaging, and troubleshooting of electronic circuits used in comfort air conditioning. Covers semiconductors, timing and
sensing devices, and the use of microprocessor controls in comfort applications.

Electrical Troubleshooting Describes and illustrates techniques for troubleshooting
electrical and electronic circuits with a focus on control circuits and motors.
