About This Textbook
Many types of electric devices are used in almost every trade. Mechanical trades will find electrical devices in every motor-driven vehicle. Construction trades will encounter them in most construction projects. To be able to recognize or troubleshoot electrical devices, you must be familiar with the correct terminology and symbols used to identify them.
The following list of lines and competencies was generated with the goal of creating an entry-level trades training resource, while still offering the flexibility for lines to be used as stand-alone books.
- E-1 Describe the Basic Principles of Electricity,
- E-2 Identify Common Circuit Components and Their Symbols,
- E-3 Explain Wiring Connections,
- E-4 Use Multimeters.
Special thanks to CAPER-BC for creating the audio recording for each Competency.
