Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to understand and use common terminology found in the National Electrical Code, be able to apply Ohms Law, and be able to explain the purpose of bonding.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to describe ground fault paths, discuss electrical shock hazards in structures, and explain the operation of GFCIs.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to identify AC systems that are required to be grounded and those that do not need to be grounded.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to differentiate grounding requirements for equipment fastened in place from equipment connected by cord and plug.

Learning Objective 5:
Learners will be able to explain the function of grounding electrode conductors (GEC) and identify GEC materials, and discuss their sizing and installation.
