RSNI 101 - Electrical Maintenance I
5 hrs (Sem I)
This course covers basic safety practices and knowledge of voltage, current and power in AC and DC circuits, circuit analysis of series and parallel loads, and basic understanding of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. It applies these fundamentals to simple applications that would be found in residential, light commercial and simple industrial use. Students should be able to interpret and troubleshoot circuits used for lighting, across the line 3-phase motor starting, and simple relay logic with devices such as control transformers, fuses and circuit breakers, pushbuttons and selector switches, pilot lights and alarm devices, solenoids, 3- phase motor starters, motor overloads, limit switches, and combinations of control relays to perform basic logic functions. Students should be familiar with simple wiring practices for using these devices and with component-level troubleshooting of these devices. This course emphasizes critical thinking and problem solving through hands-on experience and practical applications, leading to an industry-recognized certification in the discipline. 4 lecture hours, 2 laboratory hours (60 lecture+30 laboratory hours total).
