INDT 125 - Industrial Wiring Principles


PREREQUISITES: INDT 113 - Industrial Electrical I  or EECT 111 - Introduction to Circuit Analysis .
PROGRAM: Industrial Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2020

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, online simulation and programming to prepare students for C-206 Electrical System Installation 1 Certification through Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA).

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Select appropriate device, pull, and junction boxes, and calculate NEC fill values. [a, e]
  2. Lay-out and install the common conduit types used in industrial settings. [a, c, d, f]
  3. Choose proper conductors, cables, raceways, and fittings. [a, b]
  4. Read and examine industrial electrical prints and ladder diagrams. [b, f]
  5. Splice, terminate, and specify NEC appropriate wire, conductors, and cable. [a, b]
  6. Understand and apply appropriate bonding and grounding techniques. [a, c, e]
  7. Specify and size appropriate overcurrent devices. [a, b, c]
  8. Recognize the hazards of industrial electricity and the procedures employed to guard against them. [c, d]
  9. Size and install appropriate equipment for motor control centers. [a, b, c, d]
  10. Demonstrate ability to read and interpret technical documents. [b,e]
  11. Demonstrate ability to use various types of software applicable to course. [a]
  12. Assess readiness to take the SACA C-206 Electrical System Installation 1 Certification exam. [h]
