ELT3030 Power Systems & Services
Advanced · 1 credit · TMT - Trades, Manufacturing and Transportation
- Description
- Students construct, operate, analyze and evaluate various single-phase and three-phase power systems and services.
- Prerequisite
- ELT2030: Branch Circuit Wiring
- Parameters
- Access to a three-phase power supply, three-phase panel transformers, a wattmeter, a multimeter, an AC current meter, knife switches, a fused safety disconnect switch, a volt-amp clamp or probe and related resources. Note: The student must have access to instruction from an individual with electrical technologist or journeyperson status when he or she is performing practical components using anything other than low voltages.

1.1 demonstrate safe practices in all activities, observing lockout and tagout procedures
2 construct and analyze a three-wire, single-phase electrical system
2.1 analyze single-phase, three-wire systems for voltages and currents
2.2 identify and diagram wye and delta systems
2.3 energize various three-phase wye and delta circuits; measure line, phase voltages and currents
2.4 diagram and construct a mock-up of a house service, according to the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
3 analyze common reluctance inductance vector diagrams
3.1 diagram two-meter and three-meter wattmeter connections to measure three-phase power
3.2 diagram current transformer connections
3.3 solve phasor diagrams using trigonometry
4 construct and analyze three-wire, three-phase and four-wire, three-phase wye systems
4.1 energize various three-phase wye and delta circuits; calculate and measure three-phase power consumed
4.2 develop and use a three-phase power formula
4.3 mathematically analyze three-phase, four-wire wye systems for neutral currents
5 construct and analyze three-wire, three-phase delta systems
5.1 evaluate three-phase, three- and four-wire delta systems
5.2 diagram and construct a mock-up of a three-phase service, according to the CEC
