4 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: (PHYS 2212 and PHYS 2212L) or (PHYS 1112 and PHYS 1112L)
Covers basic circuit theory including the ac and dc characteristics of resistors, capacitors and inductors as used in elementary single and three-phase circuits. Characteristics of basic industrial electric motors and single and three-phase connections are studied. Basic factory automation is covered including sensors, relay control and programmable logic controllers. Laboratory exercises supplement the material discussed in class. This course cannot be used for credit by CpET or EET majors.
