Basic Electrical and Troubleshooting Training
Length - 1.5 days
Cost - $499.00 (Per Person)
Prerequisites - None
Typical class size – 6 to 8 individuals
Summary
The Basic Electrical and Troubleshooting Course is designed to provide practical instruction which includes both lecture (theory) and practical (hands-on) troubleshooting. This 1.5 day class is designed to give your technicians the training they need to properly check and diagnose electrical circuits using a Digital Multi Meter.
Who Should Attend - Any Technician/Mechanic that needs to use a Digital Multi Meter (DMM) and understand voltage drop measurements, what voltage drops are, what voltage drops indicate and how to utilize voltage drop measurements while troubleshooting vehicle electrical system problems.
Topics
Items to be covered during the training:
- Learn fundamentals of electricity.
- Understand current, voltage & resistance and relationship between each one.
- Demonstrate the ability to use ohm's law to solve basic problems in electrical circuits.
- Be able to construct basic D.C. Circuits to demonstrate what current, voltage & resistance does in series, parallel & series/parallel circuits.
- Develop a comfortable skill level in using a digital volt ohm meter in troubleshooting circuits.
- Understand fully – short circuits and open circuits.
- Understand Voltage Drops and how they affect a circuit.
- Describe the operation and purpose of resistors, relays, and switches.
- Be aware of the basic safety procedures and practices to be used when dealing with electricity and related devices.
