Wiring Techniques

Course No. E-3012

Credit: 3 PDH

Course Fee: $86.85 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: A. Bhatia, Mechanical Engineer

 

Overview

The satisfactory performance and continuous reliability of electrical systems greatly depends on the quality of wiring. Improperly or carelessly installed wiring can be a source of both immediate and potential danger, and many malfunctions and failures can be traced to this cause.

This course describes many of the techniques used to prepare wire (cutting, stripping, crimping), install various types of connectors (soldered and solderless), and how to properly build and route harnesses and conduits. It will help the user understand wiring fundamentals, grasp the principles of circuit connections and procedures, and install circuits in various applications.

This 3-hour course is based entirely on Naval Education and Training Materials (NAVEDTRA 14176), Electricity and Electronic Training Series; Module-4 and covers Chapter-2 titled “Wiring Techniques”. This course will be extremely helpful to engineers who: a) specify wiring techniques in project specifications, b) provide technical oversight of electrical crafts on construction sites, and c) desire to build on their design experience by learning more about field installation and termination methods for wiring

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

Note that the electrical wiring practices vary greatly by locality and may vary depending on the differing state codes and interpretations, materials, tools and individual skills. This course is solely for educational purposes and it does not provide or imply certification for licensed electrical wiring activities.
