Module 14A: Fundamentals of Agricultural Equipment Electrical Systems (Core)
Outcome
Explore the function and operation of electrical circuits.
Indicators
(a) | Follow safe work practices (e.g., avoid sharp material and hot parts or tools) when working with electrical circuits, including maintaining a clean and organized work area. |
(b) | Describe major electrical concepts including basic atomic structure and conductor, insulator and semi-conductor materials. |
(c) | Define current, resistance and voltage and state their units of measurement. |
(d) | Discuss the factors (e.g., wiring, connection quality and corrosion) that affect resistance and their effect on current and voltage. |
(e) | Differentiate between AC and DC circuits and identify where they are used in electrical circuits in agricultural equipment. |
(f) | Distinguish between the characteristics of series, parallel and series-parallel electrical circuits. |
(g) | Identify different types of switches and their purpose. |
(h) | Explain the purpose of a controller area network binary unit system (CANBUS). |
(i) | Classify common types of electric motors. |
(j) | Diagnose, repair and confirm the repair of electrical circuits by soldering, splicing and taping wires and connections. |
(k) | Assess the quality of and adjust electrical repairs. |
