INDT 125 - Industrial Wiring Principles
PREREQUISITES: INDT 113 - Industrial Electrical I or EECT 111 - Introduction to Circuit Analysis and INDT 103 - Motors and Motor Controls.
PROGRAM: Industrial Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2025
Introduces the National Electrical Code and its application in designing and installing electrical circuits, selecting wiring materials and devices, and choosing wiring methods. Includes electrical safety, terminology, interpretation of electrical symbols used in industrial blueprints, branch and feeder circuit layout, overcurrent protection, conductor sizing, grounding, tool usage, and material/device selection. This course will use lecture, lab, and online simulation to prepare students for certification assessment through (SACA) Smart Automation Certification Alliance.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Identify common types and purposes of device, pull, and junction boxes, and describe how National Electrical Code (NEC) fill values are determined. [a,e]
- Lay-out and install the common conduit types used in industrial settings. [a, c, d, f]
- Choose proper conductors, cables, raceways, and fittings. [a, b]
- Interpret industrial electrical prints and ladder diagrams. [b, f]
- Splice, terminate, and specify NEC appropriate wire, conductors, and cable. [a, b]
- Apply appropriate bonding and grounding techniques. [a, c, e]
- Specify and size appropriate overcurrent devices. [a, b, c]
- Recognize the hazards of industrial electricity and the procedures employed to guard against them. [c, d]
- Size and install appropriate equipment for motor control centers. [a, b, c, d]
- Demonstrate ability to read and interpret technical documents. [b,e]
- Demonstrate ability to use various types of software applicable to course. [a]
- Recall fundamental content to meet/exceed the cut-score for the SACA (Smart Automation Certification Alliance) C-206 Electrical System Installation 1 - Silver Certification. [h]
- Demonstrate skills to obtain the SACA C-206 Electrical System Installation 1 - Gold Certification at a 100% of skill standard. [a, i]
