Basic HVAC Electricity – Section 1: Foundations
This course will provide a basic understanding of electricity as it relates to the HVAC industry. Several sections are scheduled to be released. By the end of all the sections, there should be a good understanding of HVAC electrical items, and the ability to test the basic HVAC electrical circuits.
The layout for each lesson within each section is to:
- Describe the electrical item we are going over and what it does
- Show how it applies to the HVAC industry
- Outline how to troubleshoot the component
- Identify the symbol on an electrical diagram
- Explain how to read an electrical diagram.
This course is applicable for new technicians, as well as experienced ones. In addition, it can become a foundational training tool within the whole department, as everyone is now on the same page.
