Session I: Electrical Fundamentals
This 3-hour class is an introduction and overview to Electricity, how it works, and how it is
measured using the functions of Voltage – Amperage – Watts – Resistance. Ohms law and
its applications will assist in defining and understanding troubleshooting components. The
basics of electrical circuits, typical residential wiring, breakers, service box connections, grounding wires and cable color and insulation codes will be covered. Additional topics
include: safety, American wire gauge and amperage, OSHA, and basic techniques of
electrical troubleshooting.
