Wiring Techniques
A.
Bhatia
Overview
The satisfactory performance
and continuous reliability of electrical systems greatly depends on the quality
of wiring. Improperly or carelessly installed wiring can be a source of both
immediate and potential danger, and many malfunctions and failures can be traced
to this cause.
This course
describes many of the techniques used to prepare wire (cutting, stripping,
crimping), install various types of connectors (soldered and solderless), and
how to properly build and route harnesses and conduits. It will help
the user understand wiring fundamentals, grasp the principles of circuit
connections and procedures, and install circuits in various applications.
This 3-hr course
is
based entirely on Naval
Education and Training Materials (NAVEDTRA
14176), Electricity and
Electronic Training Series;
Module-4 and covers Chapter-2 titled “Wiring
Techniques”. This course
will be extremely helpful to engineers who: a) specify wiring techniques
in project specifications, b) provide technical oversight of electrical
crafts on construction sites, and c) desire to build on their design experience
by learning more about field installation and termination methods for wiring
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of
fifteen (15) questions at the end of
this course to obtain PDH credits.
Note that the electrical
wiring practices vary greatly by locality and may vary depending on the
differing state codes and interpretations, materials, tools and individual
skills. This
course is solely for educational purposes and it does not provide or imply
certification for licensed electrical wiring activities.
