Overview
EVT F-4 Fire Apparatus and Electrical Systems
Hours: 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cost: $ 925
Location: Commerce Court Campus
The focus of the class is to help the student gain a clear understanding of the basic principles of electricity and how these principles relate to the function of both fire apparatus and ambulance electrical systems along with the components. Components described and explained include batteries, starters, alternators, and inverters. Also included is the function and role of switches, diodes, relays, capacitors, sensors, motors, and control modules. The class will both describe and provide various examples of meters and test probes (including test lights) so that the student may use these tools in a hands-on training portion both in the class room and on a provided ambulance and fire apparatus. Topics discussed include definition of terms, electron theory, AC, DC, Ohms Laws and more. A sound vehicle and maintenance and testing program is important to government agencies of all sizes. That’s why the understanding of electrical systems diagnosing and testing are so important.
The course provides discussion of the EVT test taking process so that even taking the test may be understood to be an educational experience. The goal is not only to prepare the student to pass the test but to help the student to develop a mindset that allows them to perform better as a technician in their role of servicing and repairing emergency vehicles.
