ELEC1526

This course teaches students to identify differences in DC and AC circuits. Students will use formulas to calculate voltage, current, and impedance values in AC circuits. Students will implement resistive, inductive, capacitive, and combination circuits. They will explore in phase and out of phase. Leading and lagging power factor will be solved to industry standards. They will calculate mpower factor correction of equipment and feeders. Students will analyze single and three phase systems. Basic motor, generator, and transformer theory will be explored. This is a 4 hour per week lab setting and a 6 hour per week lecture setting class that covers Delmar chapters 15 thru 32 and Singer units 15 thru 24.Student Learning Outcomes
