Description
Provides a practical application of alternating current (AC) generation and operational circuits. Typical wiring practices of single and three phase wiring of plugs, receptacles, lighting, panel, disconnects, conduit, capacitors, power and control transformers, DC generators, AC alternators, an introduction to DC and AC motors. Prerequisite: EST 132 and passing grade of C or higher in EST 131 or instructor permission. |
