Getting Electricity Into The Home - 4 CPD Credits
This course addresses one small piece of the electrical puzzle; how electricity gets from the street to the house electrical panel. We explain some basics of electricity, in simple terms meaningful to non-electricians - things like Volts, Amps and Watts. We also address service size - how much electricity does a house need? Do the illustrations help? Absolutely!
