This class which will cover the basics of Electrical Theory for the Set Lighting Technician. We will cover conductors, insulators, electromagnetism, AC & DC power generation, transformers, parallel; series circuits, overcurrent protection, Ohm's Law, and more. This knowledge will give you the ability to understand how electricity works on a deeper level. This will make you more efficient on set and sets the groundwork for the advanced electrical knowledge which you need to make electricity work for you. This class features hands-on work with low voltage electrical kits and is followed up by the Electrical Power Lab class which will demonstrate these principles on a much larger scale using our equipment and power sources.
