INHR 12111 - Magnetism and AC Fundamentals

0.50 CR
It is very important to understand the invisible forces of magnetism and electromagnetism, and how they are related to alternating current (AC) fundamentals. This module focuses on two chapters in the textbook which are directly related to one another. As a technician it is very important to understand that HVAC-R equipment uses several different types of power, from very low voltage controls, to high voltage three phase systems for commercial and industrial applications.  

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Demonstrate safe and proper use of electrical tools and equipment.
  2. Demonstrate knowledge of basic electrical theory.
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of electrical circuits.
  4. Demonstrate an understanding of electrical communication using schematic and pictorial drawings. 
  5. Demonstrate an understanding of HVAC-R electrical controls.
