Explore the principles of electrical systems and maintenance in this comprehensive three-day course covering essential topics like electrical units, circuits, components, meter usage, and safety. You will gain hands-on experience assembling and testing control circuits while studying key concepts such as resistance, capacitance, and motor maintenance. Through quizzes and lab work, students will apply their knowledge and develop fine motor skills by collaborating with peers. Students will be working on older pump control circuits systems still used by many utilities. This course emphasizes practical diagnostic skills vital for learners and provides a strong foundation for further study or careers in electrical maintenance.
