This course is designed to familiarize participants with the basic construction and installation of electrical cables and conductors. After completing this course, participants should be able to describe the basic construction of cables and conductors, and describe how conductors are classified and rated. They should also be able to describe factors that affect the installation of a conductor for a specific application, and describe how to make splices and terminations.
Describe the basic construction of conductors.
Describe how the physical characteristics of a conductor's wires affect how the conductor is classified and rated.
Describe how the physical characteristics of a conductor's insulation affect how the conductor is classified and rated.
Describe factors that determine the current requirements of a circuit.
Describe factors that determine the voltage requirements of a circuit.
Describe characteristics in an environment that affect the type of conductor that should be installed.
Explain how environmental temperatures affect the type of conductor that should be installed.
Describe factors that should be considered when a mechanical connector is selected.
Describe factors that should be considered when replacement insulation is selected.
Describe how to make a splice.
