Students use a bottle of nitrogen to test the opening and closing of a pressure switch

Students operate a hand-cranked generator to learn how it produces electricity


A student inspects a PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) fan motor

Students testing resistance readings to determine common, start and run terminals of a compressor
A student inspects an outdoor fan motor
A student draws a schematic of one of the 4 motor types.
Students test opening and closing switches for a thermostat with the heat of their hands and ice water and record the results.


Students perform one of the five tests on a transformer.
Students use a digital volt ohmmeter to measure the voltage of a compressor. A student makes resistance checks of the windings of a shaded pole motor

Students work on resistance testing (the power is turned off) and the instructor answers students' questions

A student examines external OLPs (overload protectors) to determine pin numbers
The instructor provides an explanation on OLPs.
One group of students works on a thermostat switchboard while...

...others check the voltage of a fan motor while it is running.
After a discussion of electricity, students draw schematic diagrams on the board.
