REFG 123: Basic Electrical Controls

REFG 123 will be a 2-hour long lecture-lab combination class. Some of the time will be spent lecturing, using academic course materials. The rest of the time will be spent in a lab setting, practicing the application of skills learned in theory. This course will examine the electrical properties of voltage, current, resistance, and power by designing circuits, measuring, and recording data, t hen comparing this data to calculated values. Electrical meter operation and application, as well as safety practices will be of primary focus. Control circuits will be designed and examined. Emphasis will be placed on obtaining a solid understanding of electrical fundamentals to develop troubleshooting skills necessary to work in the HVACR industry. This class may require participation in several field trips for further understanding of the profession.
