LBT-408 Introduction to Electricity

Description

AVI is pleased to announce our new basic electricity course.  This is part one of our three-part series covering an all-inclusive start to finish course on electricity.  In this course we start from square one with how voltage is created inside a battery, we cover electron flow, ohms, and wattage laws, how to effectively use a DVOM to perform various electrical tests including the ever-important voltage drop test.  We then move into wiring schematics, starting, and charging systems including smart charging systems and their diagnostic procedures.  If you are an educator, you will be pleased to know that this course has been developed with instructor materials such as power points, activity worksheets, tests, and lesson plans.

Topics Covered:

• Battery Ratings
• Electrical Circuits
• Live Circuit Testing
• Measuring Voltage
• Circuit Boards
• Charging System Fundamentals
• Abbreviations
• Wiring Schematics

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

• Understand atomic theory as it relates to electricity and how batteries work
• Understand how to competently use a digital multimeter to test voltage, resistance, and amperage
• Demonstrate how to use a multimeter to measure voltage drops
• Interpret simple wiring schematics
