ELTR 272 - Electrician Theory II

Description
This course builds on your previous theory course. You’ll begin by examining the properties and characteristics of alternating current (AC) and the effect of resistive, inductive, and capacitive (RLC) loads in these circuits. You’ll connect and analyze the effects of capacitors and inductors in circuits, and you’ll calculate power, reactive power and apparent power in AC circuits. You’ll also connect and analyze AC series circuits and parallel circuits that contain resistors, inductors and/or capacitors. The course concludes with analysis of single-phase motors and single-phase power factor correction circuits.
