Back To Basics Welcome to the
Basics of Electricity and Control Series! You are embarking on an exciting learning experience that will greatly improve your understanding of the products involved in distributing, controlling and using electricity.
This Series is a self-directed, computer-based learning program composed of
different modules. Each module focuses on a specific product group. You select which modules to complete and set your own pace for learning.
The emphasis is on really understanding the technology behind these
products. For information on specific products click on the Clayton logo
above to go to the commercial web site for detailed product information.
We will be adding context specific links later to illustrate particular
products related to the technical information given here. Also in the
index are quick links to pages related to specifying particular products
when talking with customers.
Purpose and Objectives This
Training is designed to establish a fundamental understanding of
electrical control and distribution products manufactured by a variety of
companies.
The modules contain the following information:
 | Introduction and definition of the product category and how it works.
|
| Discussion of common terminology, formulas and symbols.
|
| Theory, concepts, codes and regulations important to the product category.
|
| "In the Workplace" scenarios that introduce you to real world applications.
|
| "Helping the Customer" sections that help you determine proper application and solutions.
|
Who Should Participate We hope
this is beneficial for everyone:
| The Beginner looking for an introduction to the industry and its products.
|
| The Intermediate or Advanced learner who is extending into less familiar product or market areas.
|
| The Experienced professional seeking specific information or refresher courses.
|
Self-Directed Learning Self-directed learning is different than regular classroom instruction. It takes more self discipline, dedication, and planning to stay on track. Here are a few simple steps to help make the most of your experience:
| Decide which modules you are going to complete. Take
a moment now to select the modules you will complete - assign an order.
|
| Set completion goals by planning your target start and completion dates.
|
| Pick a time and place to read. You may need to set aside 3 to 6 hours per module.
|
| Study with a group or a partner. Put up a poster that outlines each of your plans, and check off the modules as they are completed. Hold discussion sessions when everyone completes a specific module. Quiz each other on the review questions.
|
| Teach someone else what you've learned. You retain information longer when you teach it. This forces you to more fully understand and internalize the information. It will also make you aware of areas you may want to review.
