Electrics Module 1 Content

The course begins with an overview of electrical principles and circuit operating requirements.

Digital multi-meters and fault finding techniques

Course practical activities involve extensive use of digital multi meter applications, test accessories (including Amps clamps) and advanced  user functions. Delegates will appreciate the importance of taking accurate test measurements, recording test results and evaluating test readings.

ISO relays

The course explains the functions and operations of ISO relays including mini relays, micro relays and super relays. This session also covers relay types, DIN numbers, terminal configurations, relay current ratings and a technical overview of electronic relays.

Wiring diagrams and electrical systems

This part of the course explains wiring diagram layouts in detail and show cases the PC based wiring diagrams and CD3 workshop information system from Autodata. Delegates use wiring diagrams to analyze electrical systems and circuit faults. There will be a technical overview of vehicle electrical systems and standard equipment to  include lighting and signalling systems, windscreen wipers, horn circuits, dash  instrumentation and vehicle voltage distribution on the modern vehicle.

Batteries, charging and starting systems diagnosis

This session covers modern testing and diagnostic techniques of batteries, charging and starting systems and show cases state of the art equipment from  Midtronics, CTEK and Pico Technology. Delegates will become familiar with use of digital battery testers, smart battery chargers and analysis of alternator charge ripple using an oscilloscope. The session also highlights health and safety and includes a technical overview of alternator digital field monitoring.

Assessment

Course assessment comprises of multiple choice questionnaires and a practical task. To successfully complete the course, delegates must achieve 80% in each assessment as well as an overall test result of 80% at the end of the course. After successfully  completing the course, delegates will receive a Quality Assured Award certificate from the Institute of the Motor Industry.
