  1. Electricity & Electronic Systems SAFETY

  2. When are Safety Glasses required? All students and visitors MUST wear safety glasses at any time there is any active lab activities This includes the classroom and the larger lab area Loaner glasses are available for visitors Students must supply their own glasses

  3. How do I get Safety Glasses? Glasses can cost as little as $1.00 a pair Instructor can sell you glasses Tool trucks that visit school have very comfortable glasses Any auto parts store will stock a variety of glasses

  4. Contact lenses do not belong in the shop • Many solvents, chemicals, fuels and particles can be trapped next to, and damage, the eye • Damage compounded by wearing contacts. • Do not wear contacts in the shop environment

  5. How do I see without contacts? • Wear safety glasses over prescription glasses • Obtain side shields to use with prescription glasses (available in Welding dept.) • Prescription safety glasses with side shieldsare a good investment

  6. Basic Electrical Theory

  7. What can you learn from this lesson? • If you understand how an electrical circuit is supposed to work • And • You can use a Voltmeter • You can fix electrical stuff

  8. Define Electricity • The ability to perform “work” by moving electrons between atoms

  9. What do we need to make an electrical circuit “Work” • Break into groups and write a list of the basic requirements to control and use electricity • Think of what has to happen to turn on a light.

  10. What do we need to make an electrical circuit “Work” • Power Source • Wiring or Conductors • (insulated side and ground) • Control Device (switch) • Load • Circuit Protection (fuse)

  11. Power Source Alternator provides power for running vehicle (Alternator provides power for running vehicle)

  12. Load Alternator provides power for running vehicle Light bulb, motor, solenoid, etc.

  13. Control Device Alternator provides power for running vehicle Switch, Relay, Computer

  14. Wiring or Conductors Alternator provides power for running vehicle Insulated and Ground

  15. Circuit Protection Alternator provides power for running vehicle Fuse or Circuit Breaker

  16. Alternator provides power for running vehicle

  17. Alternator provides power for running vehicle

  18. Electrical “work” can be in the form of heat energy Alternator provides power for running vehicle

  19. The light gets hot and gives off light Alternator provides power for running vehicle

  20. Electrical work can be magnetism

  21. Magnetism pulls in the solenoid and makes the starter turn

  22. Start on Lab #2 • Power Source • Wiring or Conductors • (insulated side and ground) • Control Device (switch) • Load • Circuit Protection (fuse)

  23. Diagrams show the Power Source at the top, ground at the bottom

  24. Diagrams show the Power Source at the Left, ground on the Right

  25. Wiring Diagrams • Wiring diagrams illustrate how a circuit is supposed to work • If you know how it should work, it is easier to figure out why it doesn’t work

  26. What can cause an electrical circuit to fail? • A bad or defective: • Power Source • Wiring or Conductors • (insulated side and ground) • Control Device (switch) • Load • Circuit Protection (fuse or circuit breaker)
