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. |
