(to be completed during dates shown)

In this module, learners will develop knowledge of electrical basics, motors and VFDs, controls concepts for HVAC, controls components, and electrical schematics. This module consists of three virtual instructor-led training (VILT) sessions and self-directed on-line content.

ELECTRICAL BASICS  (VILT)

Learning Objectives:

•    Explain how power distribution works
•    Explain how electricity flows
•    Use Ohm’s Law to calculate current, voltage, and resistance
•    Explain the relationship between electricity and magnetism
•    Explain how the basic components in electrical equipment work (switches, fuses, contactors, relays, capacitors, resistors/resistance/electrical loads, diodes, transformers, and thermostats)

MOTORS & VFDS  (VILT)

Learning Objectives:

•    Explain how a motor operates
•    Identify the HVAC types of motor designs and configurations
•    Explain how the types of motor starters function
•    Explain power factor as it applies to motors

CONTROLS CONCEPTS FOR HVAC  (self-directed online content)

Learning Objectives:

•    Describe the three levels of controls for HVAC (unit, system, BMS/BAS)
•    Explain how key terminology is used in the control process
•    Explain the basic control strategies
•    Explain the four different types of control point
•    Describe the four types of modulating controls

CONTROLS COMPONENTS  (self-directed online content)

Learning Objectives:

•    Describe the types of control sensors
•    Describe the types of control dampers
•    Describe the types of valves

ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS  (VILT)

Learning Objectives:

•    Identify electrical terms, acronyms, and symbols
•    Explain how to read an electrical schematic
•    Identify practical approaches to problem solving when working with an electrical system
