"Hands-On" Electrical Ladder Drawings, Schematics and Diagrams

Understand the Electrical Languages that Run your Facility and Equipment

Length Of Course
2 Days. Class begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. and continues until 4:30 p.m. Lunch break is from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

About This Class
In the field of equipment maintenance, installation or modification, the ability to read and understand schematics and drawings is an absolute must. Several types of drawings and diagrams will be examined during this course including Block, Pictorial, One-line, Wiring, Terminal, and Schematic. The differences between these drawings will be emphasized and the purpose and flow of each type will be clarified.

In order to learn the symbolic language, you must start at the beginning. In doing so, individual component symbols will be presented along with an explanation of their function and purpose in the circuit. In order to make it easier to relate the diagrams to the actual equipment, students will see pictorial examples or photos of the components along with the description.

Students will be provided with a Laptop Computer operating Visual Simulation Software. The software makes the creation, testing, and trouble-shooting of electrical ladder diagrams, schematics and one line diagrams fast and easy. The complete circuit can be tested from the three phase power components to the control circuit.

Who Should Attend
This course is designed for anyone who needs to understand electrical drawings and schematics for servicing and troubleshooting facility and industrial electrical systems. Attendees come from a wide variety of industries, skill-levels, company sizes, and backgrounds - as long as you work with electricity! This is an introductory class that assumes no prior knowledge of electrical drawings. It is basic enough that individuals with no electrical background can understand the subject matter. It is great for technicians and maintenance personnel, engineers, supervisors or anyone wishing to learn more about this subject.
