AC Theory and Transformers is the study of alternating-current principles — electromotive force, inductance, capacitance, power factor — and of the transformers used in electrical systems.
What it covers
The catalog states: “This course further deepens students’ knowledge of AC theory and transformers.”
Topics covered include principles of electromotive force, inductance, capacitance, power factor, and filters in AC theory, and students also learn about the application of AC theory and NEC requirements to the function of various types of transformers.
Which program covers it
In InterCoast Colleges’ Electrical Training Program, ac theory and transformers is covered in the course ETP104, AC Theory & Transformers.
The Electrical Training Program outline lists ETP104 AC Theory & Transformers at 90 clock hours (60 lecture, 30 laboratory) and 5 semester credits.
The catalog lists the prerequisites for ETP104 as: “Completion of the equivalent of ATP104, ATP105, ATP106”.
It sits alongside electrical theory, Ohm’s law, and motors and motor controllers in the Electrical Training Program.
This topic is covered in the Electrical Training Program at InterCoast Colleges.
