E – 1731 Everything You Missed in your Electric Circuits Course,

This is a 7-hour course that explores topics of interest in the areas of voltages less than 1000 volts, including who is allowed to do what, based upon the type of license held. For example, fire alarm contractors are not licensed to install higher voltage systems such as 240 V motors, while an electrical contractor is allowed to install the 240 V motor as well as a fire alarm system. Even so, the EC specializing in residential, commercial and industrial wiring, probably will not include specializing in fire alarm systems. The goal of this course is to present a few contemporary higher voltage concepts that may be of interest to low voltage specialty contractors, such as electric vehicle charging, as well as a few contemporary low voltage concepts that may be of interest to electrical contractors, such as alarm wiring and controls. Some topics, such as selecting fuses and circuit breakers, batteries and battery charging and troubleshooting methods and examples may be of interest to each. All the topics should be of interest to engineers.
