Electrical Power Lab 101

Class Description: 

The Electrical Power Lab class will go in depth into the world of portable power distribution systems. Using the equipment that we use of set, we will examine the practical influences that electrical theory has on our work. We will take in in-depth look at common (though frequently under-estimated) problems like voltage drop and harmonics caused by non-linear loads. We will also set up a loop circuit and go over its benefits and challenges. This class will help you to have a better understanding of how to make electricity work for you so your crew can be more efficient. This class is primarily taught through hands-on experiments and real-world scenarios.

This class covers topics that are listed as being in the content outline for the ETCP Entertainment Electrician Certification Exam.
