In Electrical, students cover the following topics with a certified and experienced instructor. Study and understand the fundamentals of Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) electrical systems, the most common applications of multi-meters, and control logic.
The digital multi-meter is one of the most widely used tools in the Wind Turbine industry. Known for its diagnostic accuracy the Fluke 87 multi-meter is used to maintain, troubleshoot, and repair wind turbines and industrial systems. This course is designed to familiarize the student with this most widely used tool and its most common applications.
Study and understand the fundamentals and application of Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) electrical systems. Learn the components of basic electrical circuits, electrical measurements, circuit analysis, combination circuits, and transformers. Examine the physics of magnetism, inductance, and the phenomenon of capacitance.
Electric Relay Control forms the fundamental building block for other automated systems that apply to wind turbines. Discover the use of electric relay control for the control of electric motors and fluid actuators. Students will study preparations for programmable controllers which use the electric relay control schematic method and a ladder diagram. Students will examine the design and interpret the operation of relay control circuits. Students will gain an understanding of control logic, sequencing logic, timers and advanced systems.
Establishing “Qualified Person” status is mandatory for all workers exposed to the hazards of electrical energy who are employed in the USA. The NWREI training program provides students with an understanding of the requirements of Qualified Electrical Worker Certification & Electrical Safety Training Program as defined in OSHA Subpart S, 1910 and NFPA 70E requirements for “Qualified Persons”. OSHA states that only a “Qualified Person” is permitted to work on or near exposed energized parts and that a “Qualified Person” is “one who has received training in and has demonstrated skills and knowledge in the construction and operation of electric equipment and installations and the hazards involved.” This program also helps provide training and information to students to assist them to work safely around electrical equipment and avoid accidents.
