HART-1401 Basic Electricity for HVAC SCANS Requirements TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE DISTRICT MASTER SYLLABUS COURSE DESCRIPTION Principles of electricity as required by HVAC, including proper use of test equipment, electrical circuits, and component theory and operation. Co-requisite: TECM-1303 COURSE TYPE Technical COURSE GOALS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES End-of-Course Outcomes: Demonstrate knowledge of basic principles of electricity, electrical current, circuitry, and air conditioning devices; apply Ohm's law to electrical calculations; perform electrical continuity, voltage, and current tests with appropriate meters; and demonstrate electrical safety. Learning outcomes are linked to SCANS requirements. Specific SCANS requirements are linked to the class schedule. Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the current theory of electron flow by a. describing atomic structure (1a, 1b); b. defining electrical charge (1a, 1b); c. differentiating between conventional and electron current flow (1a, 1b). 2. Define electrical terms by a. defining voltage (1a, 2c); b. defining current (1a, 2c); c. defining amperage (1a, 2c). 3. Demonstrate an understanding of DC circuits by a. using Ohm’s law to determine resistance, amperage, and voltage values (1a, 1b, 2c); b. using Kirchoff’s current law to determine node currents (1a, 1b, 2c); c. using the power formula to calculate circuit wattages (1a, 1b, 2c). 4. Connect DC circuits by a. connecting series circuits (1a, 1b, 2c); b. connecting parallel circuits (1a, 1b, 2c); c. connecting combination circuits (1a, 1b, 2c).

Demonstrate the proper use of a multimeter by a. connecting the meter to measure amperage in a series and parallel circuit (1a, 1b, 2c, 2e); b. connecting the meter to measure voltage (1a, 1b, 2c, 2e); c. connecting the meter to measure resistance (1a, 1b, 2c, 2e). 6. Demonstrate an understanding of the generation of AC electricity by a. explaining the current theory of magnetism (1a, 1b, 2c); b. identifying sine wave properties (1a, 1b, 2c). 7. Demonstrate an understanding of the effect of inductance in an AC circuit by a. defining inductance (1a, 1b, 2c); b. defining inductive reactance (1a, 1b, 2c). 8. Analyze inductive circuits by a. calculating inductive reactance (1a, 1b, 2c); b. calculating inductive power (1a, 1b, 2c); c. drawing voltage and current wave forms for a purely inductive circuit (1a, 1b, 2c). 9. Explain the principle of operation of a power transformer by a. defining mutual inductance (1a, 1b, 2c); b. determining transformer ratios (1a, 1b, 2c); c. identifying transformer windings (1a, 1b, 2c). 10. Demonstrate an understanding of the effect of capacitance in an AC circuit by a. defining capacitance (1a, 1b, 2c); b. defining capacitive reactance (1a, 1b, 2c); c. drawing voltage and current wave forms for a purely inductive circuit (1a, 1b, 2c). 11.

Demonstrate an understanding of AC circuits by a. using Ohm’s law to determine resistance, amperage, and voltage values (1a, 1b, 2c); b. using Kirchoff’s current law to determine node currents (1a, 1b, 2c); c. using the power formula to calculate circuit wattages (1a, 1b, 2c); d. calculating apparent and true power (1a, 1b, 2c); e. calculating the power factor of an AC reactive circuit (1a, 1b, 2c). COURSE ASSESSMENT Student success is measured by a variety of assessment techniques aligned with course goals and learning outcomes. Individual faculty members are responsible for HART-1401 Tarrant County College Page 2 of 3 designing evaluation instruments to measure student mastery of course goals and learning outcomes and indicating the nature of such evaluation instruments in the instructor’s class requirements. STUDENT ACCESSIBILITY RESOURCES Any student with a documented disability needing academic accommodations is required to contact the Student Accessibility Resources (SAR) Office located on each campus to schedule an appointment with the Coordinator of SAR. All discussions are confidential. Because SAR accommodations may require early planning and are not provided retroactively, students are encouraged to contact SAR as early in the semester as possible. SAR is responsible for approving and coordinating all disability-related services. TCC professors will honor requests for accommodation when they are issued by SAR. SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY Students are responsible for adhering to the TCCD policy on scholastic dishonesty as stated in the online student handbook at www.tccd.edu. RESOURCES For additional information regarding the student handbook, academic calendar, course evaluations, attendance policy, SCANS skills, Core Competencies, etc., see www.tccd.edu.
