Objective
The student will be familiar with the central concepts of electrical engineering as well as the principles of safe structure and protection of electrical devices; the electrical devices used in residential spaces with their graphic symbols and know the principles of their functional connectivity. Furthermore, the student will know when a task must be taken over by a qualified professional.
The student will be familiar with the principles of graphic representation of electrical equipment and functional connectivity of devices with a voltage of 230 V used in residential spaces, and will know the principles and parties in the supply chain for electrical power. The students are able to draft the documents for designing, operating and maintaining the electrical systems in residential building as instructed.
