Title: Lesson
Course: Industrial Wiring (IC 104-IC 104) > Section: Web Content

The main objectives are to be able to determine the full-load currents for different types of motors, then take that information and use what you have learned last week to be able to install the proper conductors to them. You will also be determining the overload sizes for different motors from the nameplate current ratings. You will be introduced to different types of lighting, their color characteristics, and compare life expectancy of each. Some types of lighting controls and where they might be used will be introduced.
Reading Assignment:
Electrical Wiring Industrial - Chapter 10; Motor Installation
Electrical Wiring Industrial - Chapter 15; Site Lighting
There are power points available in the Handout section.
There are videos posted below to further discuss subject matter for the week.
This week in the Coursework section you will need to complete some of the chapter review questions and upload them. There is a worksheet to complete that will have you getting use to using the motor full-load current tables and using the conductor sizing from last week. There are two more wiring diagram worksheets to help sharpen those basic wiring skills.
Be sure to check out the Forum this week and see if you can help me out. I'm stumped.
When taking the test "Be SURE to use the NEC table for RACEWAY, CABLE, or EARTH (Directly Buried) to find ampacity.
