 VOLTAGE - What is That?

Pressure...
Created by a Pump. In Electricity, the pump
is called a Generator. We’ll talk about the
generator later. To understand how it works,
think of a water pump. Both the generator and
the water pump serve the same purpose. To
apply pressure to the system
11/25/98 51R1B05S6A-6
 Ampere - What is That?
Rate of flow...
Amperes - shortened to AMPS is also called
Current. The rate at which it flows depends
on, to a great extent, on the Voltage applied
by the Generator. We can think of AMPS in
electricity as we think of Gallons Per Minute
in water flow. However, AMPS flow at a Per
Second rate rather than Per minute as in
water.
11/25/98 51R1B05S6A-7
 Resistance- What is
That?
restriction to flow...
Any thing that restricts the flow of current in an
electrical system. Friction in a wire is one of the
ways flow is restricted. Loose connections are
another. Keep in mind, All resistance in an
electrical system creates heat. Related to water,
imagine the resistance created by a kink in a
water hose
11/25/98 51R1B05S6A-8
 Wattage- Watt is
That?
Electric Power...
The power (force) electricity has to drive a
given device, i.e. Lights, Heaters, Motors etc.
We have all seen examples of water turning
a water wheel. The force or weight of the
water falling onto a paddle turns the wheel.

Application of the Power Formula

Example Problem #2

Given an electric heater that has a rating of 4500 watts

and draws 20 amps of current, determine the required
voltage

Solution:
P (watts) ÷ I (amperage) = E (voltage)

4500 watts ÷ 20 amps = 225 volts

Terminal Learning Objective

Action: Install electrical devices.

Conditions: At a training site, given FM 5-424, National Electric Code (NEC) book;
an electrician’s tool kit; construction prints and drawings; pre-installed
cable and/or conduit system with 2x4 and 4x4 electrical boxes;
conductors; grounding clips; wire nuts; ladder; single-pole, three-way
and four-way switches; switch covers; duplex, ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI), and special purpose receptacles; receptacle covers;
incandescent light fixtures and bulbs; fluorescent light fixtures with
covers and tubes; mounted and grounded service panel; main breaker;
circuit breakers and fuses (if required); and GFCI breakers

Standards: Identify various wiring methods used, and install single-pole, three-way
and four-way switches; duplex, GFCI and special purpose receptacles;
incandescent and fluorescent fixtures, and circuit protective devices in
accordance with (IAW) FM 5-424, construction prints and drawings,
and the schematics.

To determine if a receptacle is wired properly, three checks are necessary.

The light should glow when the leads are placed between the hot wire and
ground, and between the hot wire and neutral. It should not glow when
placed between the neutral and ground.

If the tester does not glow, the receptacle cover should be removed so that a
