Operator Content

SERIES SPECIFICATIONS &COURSE OUTLINE

CONTENTS

This electrical maintenance series is designed to help participants master

the fundamentals of AC and DC electronics. The series covers AC current,

measurement, circuitry, and transformers as well as DC magnetism,

measurement, circuitry, inductance, and capacitance.

AUDIENCE

The AC/DC Theory series is designed for new electronics learners who have little

to no knowledge of the eld. All terms used are explained or dened throughout

the courses, so participants are not required to have an electronics vocabulary to

understand the content.

LEARNER EXPECTATIONS

This series is intended to be used as a critical component in your industrial

electronics preparation program. It is designed to develop a fundamental

understanding of electronics. Each lesson has specic objectives that identify theanticipated level of understanding associated with the information presented.

Our experience indicates that those who complete the training are likely to

accomplish the stated objectives. Furthermore, if these lessons are built into a

total curriculum which includes practice in the working environment, it will help

provide participants with the knowledge necessary to master the subject.

14PART SERIES



ACD001 Current

Purpose: This course teaches participants how to identify

characteristics of current ow and how to measurecurrent ow.

Objectives: Identify the parts of the Bohr Model; identify

the electronic charge of the atom, electron, proton,

neutron, nucleus, and ion; explain Coulomb’s Law; dene

terms associated with current; express numbers with

scientic notation and metric prexes; and measure

current with an ammeter.

ACD002 Voltage

Purpose: Electronic circuits need current to ow so they

can operate as designed. The current ow is caused

by emf or electromotive force. This course shows

participants how to measure emf or voltage.

Objectives: Dene electrical terms relating to voltage;

describe how an electromotive force can be produced;

explain how batteries work and how connecting them in

series or parallel will affect voltage and current capability;

differentiate between voltage drop and rise; explain

ground, negative, and positive voltage; and measure

voltage with a voltmeter.

ACD003 Resistance

Purpose: This course demonstrates how to place

resistance in a circuit and describes how that resistance

affects the circuit.

Objectives: Dene resistance terms; differentiate

between conductors and insulators and describe the

characteristics that affect them; interpret resistor color

codes; describe various types of resistors; and describe

how resistors can be connected to achieve different

amounts of total resistance.

ACD004 Ohm’s Law

Purpose: This course explains how to use Ohm’s

Law formulas to calculate voltage, current, and resistancein almost any part of an electronic circuit without needing

to use voltmeters, ammeters, or ohmmeters.

Objectives: Write Ohm’s Law in three different forms;

select the proper equation to calculate current, voltage,

or resistance; and calculate the amount of power in a

circuit.

ACD005 Magnetism

Purpose: This course identies basic principles of

magnetism and describes methods of producing

magnetic forces.

Objectives: Dene electromagnetic terms; explain basic

electromagnetic rules and principles; and describe the

operation of generators and motors.

used to measure voltage, amperage, and resistance

with this course. It also demonstrates the proper usage

of test instruments.

Objectives: Explain how the VOM works; describe how

the VOM should be connected to a circuit; calculate the

value of shunt required to increase the current capability;

calculate the series dropping resistance required toincrease the voltage capability; calculate meter sensitivity

for a meter movement; and dene voltmeter loading.

ACD007 DC Circuits

Purpose: This course explains how to use the basic

formulas to simplify the evaluation of electric circuits.

Objectives: This course explains how a voltage divider

works; describe an application for a bridge circuit;

describe Kirchhoff’s Law; and explain the superposition

theorem, Thevenin’s Theorem, and Norton’s Theorem.
