AGET14B
Module 14B: Advanced Agricultural Equipment Electrical Systems (Optional)
Outcome
Examine agricultural equipment electrical systems.
Indicators
(a) Identify and follow safe work practices (e.g., ground static electricity, avoid the presence of water and disconnect the batteries) when working with agricultural equipment electrical systems, including maintaining a clean and organized work area.
(b) Explore the use of electrical and electronic components (e.g., sensors, actuators and switches) in agricultural equipment.
(c) Perform mechanical adjustments (e.g., camera, headlight and sensor alignments) to agricultural equipment electrical system components according to manufacturer’s specifications.
(d) Describe wiring terminology and principles of electrical wiring.
(e) Identify and select appropriate wire gauge, connectors and circuit protection devices like fuses when working on electrical systems.
(f) Examine electrical system schematic diagrams and service manuals to help diagnose electrical problems.
(g) Perform common electrical tests (e.g., current, parasitic draw, resistance, voltage and voltage drop) using electrical testing equipment like a multimeter.
(h) Provide examples of common faults (e.g., open circuit, short circuit and burned-out fuse or bulb) that may occur in agricultural equipment electrical circuits.
