Course Detail: WTME112 - Meter Apprenticeship 1B
This 15-week course is a hybrid course which combines 30hours of online coursework with 8-hours of labs twice a month-participants must attend 40 hours of labs. As a result of this training participants will be able to identify safety protocols for qualified employee training, safety compliance, and job briefings; demonstrate correct use of various measuring instruments including voltmeter, ohmmeter, power analyzer and oscilloscope Diagram a single-phase meter system and identify characteristics of watt-hour meters based upon a meter's nameplate, then calculate the dial multiplier of self-contained meters, as well as constants, meter registers and demand registers; define Alternating Current (AC) and identify the differences between AC and DC and identify the types and voltages of primary and secondary cells, demonstrate connecting batteries and solar cells, and cell construction, then discuss conduction in liquids and gasses and the hazards associated with electroplating and ionization; define exponential curve, henry (H), eddy current, hysteresis, R-L time constant, describe the factors that determine the amount and polarity of an induced voltage related to magnetic and electromagnetic induction, then calculate time it takes for a current to reach its full value; and explain Pythagorean Theorem and how it pertains to using basic trigonometry to solve for vectors, instantaneous values of voltage and current for a sine wave, and the peak, RMS, and average values of voltage and current in an AC Circuit.
