Description
Students will learn electrical symbols to read and draw electrical schematics. Students will use wiring diagrams and schematics to wire basic and advanced control circuits. Students will design, simulate, and wire circuits that include control relays, timing relays, and motor starters. Prepares students for troubleshooting electrical control systems found in manufacturing processes. Prerequisite: AMAR 1200 Basic Electrical Theory & Wiring OR ELEC 1021 Electronics Fundamentals DC.
