| Electrical Fabrication 1 teaches the fundamental concepts of electrical wiring, including the industry-standard components used by electricians, technicians, and engineers to install, operate, repair, and design equipment for modern industry. Learners will gain expertise in key skill areas, such as basic electrical system wiring, interpreting wire installation plans, handling non-metallic cable, connecting electrical services, and installing basic electrical components like switches, outlets, and lighting. Hands-on training allows learners to practice skills they will use on the job, such as wire stripping and termination techniques, grounding methods used in junction boxes, and installing circuit breakers. Real-world components include the use of lineman’s pliers, diagonal cutters, circuit breakers, electrical boxes, toggle switches, and an assortment of wires and cables. Learners will use these components to practice essential skills used in industry, like connecting a plug to an electrical cord, running and securing non-metallic cable between electrical boxes, and connecting a wiring system to a service panel. |
