INHR 12091 - Fuses and Circuit Breakers

0.25 CR
Circuit overcurrent protection is a vital part of every electrical system. Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to protect personnel, conductors, and equipment. Both fuses and circuit breakers operate on the same principal, which is to interrupt or open the circuit as quickly as possible before damage occurs. This module takes a closer look at these devices, and how we use them in the HVAC-R field.

  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.
  6. Demonstrate electrical troubleshooting strategies and techniques on HVAC-R equipment.
