  • ELC 191: Basic Principles of Industrial Electricity

    4.00 Credits
    Westmoreland County Community College

    This course is an introduction to single-phase and three-phase circuits as well as industrial electrical equipment. Detailed explanations of machine construction, principles of their operation, and their connections are operated. Safety is strongly emphasized and special attention is given to explaining all electrical formulas and calculations clearly. Consistent, easy-to-understand explanations and examples are used to explain how each type of machine might be used. A blend of theory, formulas, and historical information stimulates interest in the study of industrial electric circuits, symbols and drawings. Hands-on use of equipment occurs in the lab setting.
