โก Electrical Basics Class
Current, voltage, resistance, power, circuit paths, loads, switches, and the fundamental behavior of electricity.
๐งฎ Ohm's Law & Electrical Math
Use volts, amps, ohms, watts, the formula wheel, unit conversions, and practical calculations used by electricians.
๐ How Home Circuits Work
Follow the hot, neutral, and grounding paths through breakers, switches, receptacles, lights, and common branch circuits.
Tools, Test Equipment & Materials
๐งฐ Basic Electrical Tools
Pliers, strippers, screwdrivers, testers, fish tapes, drills, meters, and the core hand tools used in electrical work.
๐ฆ Residential Materials
Boxes, cable, connectors, staples, devices, breakers, grounding hardware, fittings, and common electrical terminology.
๐งต Wire & Cable Types
Conductors, insulation, cable assemblies, ampacity, equipment wiring, branch-circuit sizes, and material selection.
๐ Circuit Tracing & Testing
Identify breakers, trace receptacle order, use testers, locate faults, and build a disciplined troubleshooting process.
Residential Wiring & Devices
๐ Wiring a House
Plan and install residential circuits using safe procedures, correct routing, box placement, and professional workmanship.
๐๏ธ Electrical Rough-In
See rough wiring before walls close: drilling, cable routing, boxes, circuit layout, kitchen loads, and inspection readiness.
๐ Receptacle Circuit
Mount a box, pull cable, terminate a receptacle, connect the breaker, energize safely, and test the completed circuit.
๐ก Switches, Lights & Outlets
Understand common device wiring, replacement procedures, conductor identification, and basic residential connections.
๐ก Install Power to an Outdoor Shed
Run underground electrical service to a detached shed or workshop using conduit, feeders, subpanels, grounding electrodes, lighting, receptacles, and code-compliant installation practices.
Panels, Services, Grounding & Protection
๐๏ธ Electrical Panel Workmanship
Study breaker installation, conductor routing, neutral and grounding bars, labeling, organization, and panel craftsmanship.
๐ข Three-Phase Panel Wiring
Commercial panel layout, individual conductors, conduit fill, multiwire circuits, phase organization, and three-phase fundamentals.
๐๏ธ Old-House Electrical Hazards
Recognize obsolete services, ungrounded systems, aged insulation, undersized boxes, unsafe alterations, and upgrade priorities.
๐ Updating an Old Electrical System
Evaluate and replace aging wiring and equipment while coordinating restoration, access, safety, and modern electrical loads.
โก Install a New Dedicated Circuit
Learn how to safely add a new dedicated branch circuit from the electrical panel, select the correct breaker, route cable, terminate conductors, label the circuit, and test the completed installation.
Conduit, Commercial & Industrial Systems
๐ Conduit & Electrical Piping
Plan conduit routes, understand fittings, bends, supports, conductor pathways, grounding, and neat installation practice.
๐ Circuit Layout Before Drywall
Lay out circuits, device locations, homeruns, switching, dedicated loads, and pathways before sheetrock installation.
๐ญ Commercial Distribution
Three-phase power, panels, feeders, conduit systems, grouped conductors, branch circuits, and commercial installation logic.
โ๏ธ Motors & Controls Foundations
Relays, contactors, control circuits, motors, overload protection, transformers, and the theory behind industrial controls.
Troubleshooting, Code & Career Development
๐งญ Systematic Troubleshooting
Observe symptoms, isolate the circuit, test methodically, interpret readings, locate faults, and verify the repair safely.
๐ก๏ธ Home Electrical Safety
Understand common hazards, safe homeowner boundaries, maintenance concerns, and when licensed professional work is required.
