ELE 205 - Power Distribution

Credits: 3

The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a basic understanding of electrical distribution and associated power system concepts. The course covers transformer theory, wiring devices, overcurrent protection, wire types, grounding and circuit design. Transformer labs are used to support theory. “Real world” applications and operations are stressed through solving mathematical problems using the basic algebraic and trigonometric applications. Safety is a primary factor in working with electrical systems. Emphasis is placed on compliance with safety codes, such as the National Electrical Code and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
