| Electricity For Non-Electricians |
| Most industrial power systems are operated and controlled by electricity - maintenance requires electrical competency. Today’s manufacturing facilities demand a broader skill base and a diverse set of competencies. Government regulations require meeting certain standards and guidelines, especially related to safety. This one-of-a-kind basic electricity training will teach you more than you could ever hope to learn from any other class, self-study, or video instruction. Marshall Institute’s Industrial Electrical Basics makes basic electricity easy and interesting. You’ll learn the principles of electricity generation, distribution, and uses. You’ll understand electrical systems, how components work, and electrical safety procedures. You’ll be able to describe electrical problems to your plant electricians.
