Electrical Fundamentals: Commercial and Industrial Wiring
This course is designed specifically for technicians who need practical, applicable knowledge for real-world installations. It covers the switches, control devices, and receptacles commonly used in commercial and industrial electrical installations. You will learn to identify basic switch types, understand NEMA classifications for switches and enclosures, and describe how relays, limit switches, and switchgear operate.
The course also covers common receptacle types, including ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacles, and provides instruction on branch circuit planning and installation techniques. Through hands-on procedures for stripping, bending, and splicing conductors, you will gain the practical skills needed to safely install electrical components in commercial and industrial settings.
