This training introduces key concepts of electricity, starting with basic terminology and types of electrical current (AC vs. DC). It is followed by foundational electrical theory, including voltage, current, resistance, and power.

It delves into Ohm's Law to understand how to calculate electrical values in circuits and provides an overview of circuit components like resistors, capacitors, switches, fuses, and transformers. It explores various electrical systems (single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase) and the essential test equipment electricians use, such as multimeters, voltage testers, and clamp-on ammeters.

A deeper dive into the structure of building electrical systems follows, teaching how to read electrical single-line diagrams, understand significant components (like transformers, switchgear, and motor control centers), and the differences between Delta vs. Wye systems. Additional focus is on common electrical infrastructure, including feeders, disconnects, motors, lighting circuits, and electrical floor plans.

This training provides valuable insight into troubleshooting basics, offers techniques for identifying and solving common electrical issues, and emphasizes the importance of proper neutral and ground connections.

Finally, safety practices are emphasized, covering electrical hazards, personal protective equipment (PPE), and the standards set by the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70E, IEEE, and AEE. The section concludes with critical safety topics like electrical shock, arc flash/blast dangers, and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
