    ELECTRICAL TRAINING


    The US Navy Construction Electrician Basic (NAVEDTRA 14026) and the Construction Electrician Intermediate (NAVEDTRA 14027) both provide some excellent training for understanding electricity on the construction site.

    A complete guide to Electrical Science is provided in a 4-part manual and provides an excellent knowledge about the theory of electrical work.  Volume I presents the basic theory of electricity and magnetism some basic DC circuits. It's titled DOE-HDBK-1011/1-92 (JUNE 1992) and is 166 pages. Volume II covers more DC complexity with capacitors, batteries and induction motors. It's 118 pages and titled DOE-HDBK-1011/2-92 (JUNE 1992). A solid knowledge of DC power helps AC power make more sense. Volume III addresses AC power, first in theory then in a more practical manner. It's titled DOE-HDBK-1011/3-92 (JUNE 1992) is 126 pages. Finally, Volume IV is titled DOE-HDBK-1011/4-92 (JUNE 1992) contains 142 pages and covers AC motors, transformers and test equipment.

    The US Dept of Defense provides Electrical Power Supply and Distribution Manual which covers power distribution typically provided by Utility Companies. This 125 page handbook is officially called UFC 3-550-03FA (March 2005). 

    The US Dept of Defense provides Design: Interior and Exterior Lighting Controls Manual which is an excellent introduction to lighting. This 125 page handbook is officially called UFC 3-530-01 (August 2006). This excellent resource shows lighting in many different types of projects and provides design and functional insight.

    The US Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series that is listed above under What are the Fundamentals of Electronics? does a great job at covering all basic aspects of electricity and electronics.

    The US Navy provides Electrical Training Course for Electrical Construction Basic which is a 346 page manual officially called NAVEDTRA 14026.  Further study for Electrical Construction Intermediate is available in the document named NAVEDTRA 14027 and is 286 pages. 

    Another resource, more useful in design than in construction, is the US Dept of Defense Interior Electrical Systems Manual. It has 279 pages of information and is officially named UFC 3-520-01 (June 10, 2002).

    For information on compressed air systems, review the US Dept of Defense Compressed Air Manual, officially named UFC 3-420-02FA (May 2003).
