The main objective of the Basic Electrical Generic Module is to give you the foundation knowledge and electrical ‘vision’ to fundamentally understand how and why an electrical system works and allow you to develop with confidence and competence.
Day 1 of the Basic Electrical Generic Module course
Fundamentals of electricity:
Electron theory including atomic elements and free electrons
Charge and attraction
Coulomb’s Law
Conductors, Insulators and Semiconductors
Current
Voltage
Resistance
Electrical symbols and mathematical prefixes.
Day 2 of the Basic Electrical Generic Module course
Simple electrical circuit theory:
Ohm’s Law
Using digital multimeters to measure resistance, voltage and current
Practical workshop including the building a simple electrical circuits calculating the expected value of current and measuring the actual resistance, voltage and current
DC series circuits, this follows the theory then practical route
DC parallel circuits, again this follows the theory then practical route reinforcing the use of previously learnt techniques.
Day 3 of the Basic Electrical Generic Module course
DC series – parallel circuits, following the same pattern as the previous day
Power, solving power problems using power formulae
Magnetism
Electromagnetism and electromagnets.
Day 4 of the Basic Electrical Generic Module course
Introduction to AC, sine waves, single and 3 phase supplies
AC generation
Frequency
Voltage and current, peak, instantaneous and RMS values
Relationship between line and phase voltage in a 3 phase system
Transformer theory, calculation and practical.
Day 5 of the Basic Electrical Generic Module course
Capacitance theory, calculation and practical
Inductance theory, calculation and practical
Impedance theory, and calculation of circuit impedance.
