Practical Electrical Problems and Solutions (7 credit hours/7 HSW Hours)
This 7-hour course introduces a wide range of electrical topics that are not generally a part of the typical day of the typical electrician.  Often the electrician is told to “do it like this,” which can leave the electrician wondering “why am I doing it like this? Is there another way?  A better way?”   The course covers the how and why of topics ranging from backfeeding circuit breakers to selection of motor starters to troubleshooting sump pumps to determining how many and where to install expansion joints in PVC and metallic conduit to installing electric vehicle chargers.
