This Electrical Advanced Applications Certificate introduces the NCCER Carpentry level three and level four advanced skills for the electrical trades to include load calculations for branch and feeder circuits, conductor selection and calculations for installation, practical applications of lighting, hazardous locations, overcurrent protection, distribution equipment, transformers, commercial electrical services, motor calculations, voice, data, and video systems, and motor controls. Additional focus on applications specific to health care facilities, standby and emergency systems, basic electronic theory, considerations for fire alarm systems, installing specialty transformers, advanced controls, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) controls, heat tracing and freeze protection, motor operation and maintenance, medium-voltage terminations/splices, and applications for special locations.
Upon completion of the Electrical Advanced Applications Certificate, students should be able to:
- Interpret construction documents using industry standards in the electrical trade
- Research, interpret, and apply appropriate building and structural codes in advanced electrical applications
- Estimate the materials and labor for an advanced electrical project
- Perform hands-on activities integrating other industries for supplementation of skills for residential construction and light commercial construction in advanced electrical applications
