Motors and Controllers
This will be an overview of the different types of motors, (1 phase, 3 phase, DC) and how they operate. Also covered are the different types of controllers and control wiring. In the lab we will wire three wire start- stop, reversing, interlock and other control systems.
Solar Photovoltaics
In this class we will learn about the new and exciting field of Green energy. Topics are, solar panels, charging regulators, electric storage, inverters and metering. In the lab we will learn how to connect the equipment into a working system.
Conduit bending
Students will learn how to bend stub 90's, kicks, offsets, 3 and 4 bend saddles. Also covered are parallel offsets and segment bending. This is a very "hands on" class and we will be using hand benders, chicago benders and electric benders.

-
The purpose, importance and history of fire alarm systems
-
The basic components of fire alarm systems
-
The different types of fire alarm systems
-
The different types of suppression system attachments

Craft Certification
The craft certification process involves two forms of testing.
A hands on test that encompasses the following: Conduit bending, circuitry, wire pulling, device installation, fixture terminations, transformer terminations, motor and control hookups (includes sizing overcurrent protection). All of the preceding and more are to be completed using safe work practices.
An on-line academic portion that covers the N.E.C., D.C., A.C., and semiconductor theory, transformers, motors and controls, blueprint reading and a host of other topics.
