EIC - Electricity Industrial Commercial

Focuses on training that is 100% practical and deals with every important aspect of OSHA's electrical safety-related work practices and how they apply. Teaches the safe installation and maintenance of electrical equipment. Covers the use of personal protective equipment.

Focuses on resistance, current, voltage and power in AC and DC circuits; measurements; computations of series and parallel circuits; circuit analysis; and troubleshooting with basic test equipment.

Explores commercial and industrial building wiring in conformance with the current National Electrical Code and local codes using electric metallic tubing and other raceways. The emphasis is on proper use of tools and safety.

Prepares the student in the latest technology and techniques available for code and standards-compliant grounding and bonding systems. Focuses on grounding and bonding requirements as they relate to Article 250 and other articles of the NEC. Covers installation, testing and inspection procedures for ll power systems. Includes rules to minimize the risk of electricity as a source of electric shock, and as an ignition source for fires.

Covers the proper techniques for using electrical instruments, including volt/ohm, amp, phase rotation, oscilloscopes and recording meters. Focuses on instrument transformers for journeymen and in-plant electricians.

Covers the basics of mechanical drives including chain drives, belt drives, bushings, couplings, gear drives, bearings, and lubrication. Includes power transmission physics, shafts, keyways and key seats, prime movers, gearing, chain drives, belt drives, bushing couplings, bearings, lubrication, clutches, brakes and torque limiters, mechanical variable speed drives.

Expands and reinforces the electrician’s knowledge of wiring methods as stated in Article 300 and other articles of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Emphasis is placed on proficient use of the NEC to promote interpretation and application of the provisions of the code. This class meets necessary state licensing renewal requirements for professional development in wiring methods.

Expands and reinforces the electrician’s knowledge of theory and calculations required in the electrical industry. Emphasis is placed on the different mathematical formulas in determining ampacity. The course provides opportunities to develop correct values based on tables in the National Electric Code (NEC). This class meets necessary state licensing renewal requirements for professional development in theory and calculation methods.

Expands and reinforces the electrician’s knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Emphasis is placed on the code changes for the current edition of the NEC. The electrician reviews tables and chapters of the NEC for better comprehension and interpretation of the provisions and applications of the code. This class meets necessary state licensing renewal requirements for professional development in licensing renewal.

Focuses on the National Electrical Code and local code requirements for electrical installation. Covers chapters one through four of the National Electrical Code.

Provides students with the opportunity to supplement coursework with practical work experience related to their educational program. Students work under the immediate supervision of experienced personnel at the business location and with the direct guidance of the instructor.

Bridges the gap between the theoretical knowledge and the critical thinking skills needed on the job. Incorporates working at a troubleshooting station with circuits that are identical to motor control circuits in a plant. Concentrates exclusively to teaching hands-on troubleshooting.

Studies the application of electrical and electromechanical sensing/control devices; heating, ventilating and air conditioning applications; motor control, conveyor drives and other industrial applications. Students design control systems to meet assigned conditions, use principles of relay logic to prepare correct ladder diagrams and wire up, test and trouble-shoot their systems in the laboratory. The course stresses accuracy, safety and National Electric Code requirements.

Investigates theory of industrial instrumentation measurement through process control. Includes theory and measurement methods for temperature, pressure, level and flow. Incorporates hands-on training equipment to measure temperature and pressure and perform calibration of a pressure differential transmitter. Enables the student to construct a closed loop and tune the loop. Test equipment is used to simulate a two-wire transmitter and source a current signal for calibration of an I/P transducer.

Improves the individual's ability to read, interpret and analyze electrical ladder drawings. Acquaints the student with the basic electromechanical components commonly used in electrical control circuits, as well as solid-state relays and the role of programmable controllers.
