The following is a list of subjects that are being considered. Anyone interested in taking a class listed below will need to contact the Houston JATC Office at 713-649-2739.

ELECTRICAL THEORY

This course covers the use of Ohms Law as it relates to series and parallel resistive, inductive and capacitive circuits. The course will also include the practical application of Ohms Law to real world problems encountered in the field.

MOTOR CONTROL

This is a hands-on course covering motor starters and control circuits.  The course begins with a study of magnetic starters and their operation.  Two-wire and three-wire control circuits are covered, along with control devices such as pushbuttons, limit switches, and photo-eyes.  There will be ample opportunity for each student to connect the control circuits in the hands-on lab.
