ELEC 120 - Industrial Electricity and Maintenance

4 Credits: (3 lecture, 2 lab)

Course Description
Industrial electricity deals mainly with control devices, power systems, and applications including the latest solid state controls and programmable controllers. The student first learns the basics of industrial electronics and machine control and then advances to more sophisticated systems.

Prerequisite ELEC 101 and ELEC 102 or ELEC 110 or permission of instructor.

A. Analyze basic series, parallel and combination circuits.

B. Use basic electronic test equipment to measure voltage, current, and resistance.

C. Analyze basic power supply circuits.

D. Describe the use of transistors in amplifiers and switching circuits.

E. Analyze combinational digital electronic circuits

F. Test basic digital and analog circuits’ prototypes.

G. Describe the basics of programmable controllers.
