Power Engineer Electrical Theory (Motors, Transformers and Generators)

The course is designed for anyone that works as maintenance personnel in hospitals, schools, large buildings or industry. The course is tailored to help you do ohms law problems, build series and parallel circuits, explain how DC and AC motors are wired and work, explain how transformers work, minor maintenance procedures for both motors and transformers and understand AC theory. Field trips will be made and used to augment classroom instruction. Textbook required, not included in course fee. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: • Explain difference between series and parallel circuits • Do simple ohm’s law calculations • Demonstrate how to reverse rotation on DC and AC motors • Prepare for the Georgia State Association of Power Engineer Exams
