ELEC-1070Electrical Fundamentals 1
Many components of mechanical refrigeration systems require electricity to operate. In this foundational course, students will explore how electricity works and is applied throughout refrigeration systems. Using calculations, metering tools, and Ohm’s Law, students will analyze alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), voltage, and resistance in parallel and series circuits. Students will select conductors, cables, raceways, and devices in compliance with Canadian Electrical Code. With a focus on safety, students will learn crucial practices such as electrical hazard response, lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures and the installation of electrical components.
