AC Theory and Transformers is the study of how alternating current behaves in a circuit and of transformers, the devices that raise or lower AC voltage between circuits.
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. 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.
Prerequisites for ETP104: “Completion of the equivalent of ATP104, ATP105, ATP106”.
Related electrical topics include electrical theory, commercial electrical installations, emergency power systems and the National Electrical Code, all part of the Electrical Training Program.
This topic is covered in the Electrical Training Program at InterCoast Colleges.
