Description
* Description: This fundamentals course builds a safe, repeatable routine for residential wiring from the service disconnect to the last receptacle. It starts with a plain‑English walkthrough of circuit anatomy—hot, neutral, and equipment grounding conductors—and how overcurrent devices protect people and property. You’ll practice layout planning in a drag‑and‑drop simulator before touching any real hardware so mistakes cost nothing. Demonstrations show how to size branch circuits for lighting and general use, place receptacles by spacing rules, and route cable with protective clearances. A labeling convention helps you document every run, junction, and panel schedule so future maintenance is easy. Checklists cover box fill, conductor stripping, torque values, and device termination to prevent loose connections and heat. A troubleshooting segment teaches safe verification with a multimeter and plug‑in testers, emphasizing de‑energizing and lockout basics. The course highlights common failure modes—backstabbed devices, overfilled boxes, and unsupported cable—and how to avoid them. Practice files include sample floor plans, load tables, and panel schedules you can edit for upcoming jobs. Safety notes stress working de‑energized, testing before touching, and complying with local code and permitting requirements. You’ll finish with a documented method you can apply to kitchens, bedrooms, corridors, and garages without guesswork.
