DC Circuits, Batteries, Generators and Motors
This online engineering PDH course introduces the rules associated with the reactive components of inductance and capacitance and how they affect DC circuits. It also introduces batteries and describes the types of cells used, circuit arrangements, and associated hazards. This course further describes the types of DC generators and their application in terms of voltage production and load characteristics. Finally, it illustrates the types of DC motors and includes discussions of speed control, applications, and load characteristics.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the basics of DC systems.
