EUT101 — Basic Electricity For Lineworkers
EUT 101 - Basic Electricity For Lineworkers EUT 101 - Basic Electricity For Lineworkers Description: Basic principles of Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). Examination of the structures and functions of AC/DC circuits including series, parallel and series-parallel circuits and how they are used in the electrical linework industry. Introduces transformer and poly-phase theory and how it applies to distribution systems. Includes grounding circuits, high voltage faults to ground, and linework-specific safety practices. Lecture: 3 Lab: 2 Course Content: Basic principles of electricity: the atom, electrical current, conductors, insulators, and their uses in the utility industry Electrical circuits: pressure, power, energy, Ohm’s Law Building DC circuits: How these relate to the electrical industry Electrical systems: Generation, transmission, sub-transmission, sub-station, distribution, and grounding Transformer, capacitance, and multiphase theory Learning
