Transformers and AC Circuits
The Transformers and AC Circuits online electrical course covers differences between DC and AC circuits. Explains AC sine wave, using vectors to solve AC problems, calculating impedance in circuits having inductance, capacitance, and resistance, AC power relationships in single-phase and three-phase circuits, and principles of transformer maintenance. This course has no prerequisites. Transformers and AC Circuits is available in online technical training and course manual formats. TPC Training is authorized by IACET to offer 0.7 CEUs for the online version of this program. Lesson 1 - Principles of Alternating Current Topics: AC and DC electricity; AC waveform; Peak-to-peak, average, effective values; Energy storage; Faraday's Law; Basic circuit concepts Learning Objectives: – State of definition of a waveform. – Demonstrate how to calculate the frequency of an alternator's output. – Explain how to calculate an effec
