Electrical Two (Single Phase Electricity Pertaining to Air Conditioning and Refrigeration)

Intermediate

Module Codes:

1-PHASE: AC5, AC6

Entry Requirements:

All candidates must have completed the Technology 1, Electrical 1  and Technology 2 Courses. (Technology 1 + Electrical 1  + Technology 2  = Electrical 2)

Objective:

This course represents the intermediate electrical aspects of the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required by all persons wishing to work in the air conditioning and/or the refrigeration fields. The course has a full theory and practical component in our accredited workshop. The course compliments the Technology 1, 2 and Electrical One courses as well as the unitary air conditioning range of courses. This course focuses on single phase systems.

Outcome:

Upon successful completion of this course the student will have the understanding and the practical skills pertaining to the interpretation of single phase circuits wiring diagrams, the wiring of control panels, electrical motors and starters (Single phase) applicable to air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Inspection and maintenance of electrical panels, electrical motors, starter panels and circuits. Fault-finding and repairing single phase electrical panels, electrical motors, starter panels and circuits. Construction of single phase electrical motors, starter circuits. Operation and testing of electrical motors.

Example of Skills:

Connect basic controls, components, accessories and motors with the correctly identified cabling/conductors. Test operation of the circuit and electrical components in the system and take corrective action if needed. Identify electrical controls, components, accessories and motors from drawings. Construct complete electrical system including controls, components, accessories, motors and panel with the correctly identified cabling/conductors. Fault-find electrical circuits and equipment in the air conditioning and/or the refrigeration fields. (Single phase) Test and connect electrical motors (Single phase)
