ELECTRICAL PRINT READING
The objective of this course is to be able to "talk-through"; and troubleshoot various wiring and line diagrams. The differences between a wiring and line diagram will be explained, along with any advantages and disadvantages. The relationship between various input/output devices such as limit switches, contacts, relays, contactors, and motor starters will be covered. Examples of line diagrams containing start/stop motor control circuits that include various input/output devices will be presented.  The concept of motor overloads and seal-in circuits will be thoroughly examined. Once the ability to read existing electrical prints is achieved, the next level of instruction will be to develop line diagrams from word descriptions of processes to be controlled.

Numerous hands-on labs will involve the wiring and troubleshooting of various control circuits. All wiring errors will be corrected by "talking" through the line diagram and rewiring where necessary.
