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.
