FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICAL WORK:

Introduction to Basic Electrical Construction Concepts

Master the Basic Concepts You Need to Excel as an Electrician with...

• Develop the basic skills and knowledge electrical contractors are looking for – and position yourself to be a hot job prospect

• Understand why you’re supposed to do things the way you do

• Gain confidence about what you’re doing – and how to perform routine tasks

• Master basic concepts needed to someday advance to a Journeyman or Master Electrician

• Discover if a career in electrical construction is right for you

• Learn key safety practices to protect yourself

capitalelectriceducation.com Sponsored by


5 Signs You Need This Training1. Has your supervisor ever given you an assignment

that you’re not comfortable performing because you don’t understand it?

2. Do you want to know WHY you’re supposed to perform a particular task – and WHY you need to do it a particular way?

3. Are you uncomfortable being exposed to and working with electricity because you’re not 100% certain about how to keep yourself (and others on the job site) safe?

4. Are you largely left to learn things on your own by watching … because your supervisor is too busy to teach?

5. Are you confused and overwhelmed by code requirements? (You know they exist …but you don’t know the details – or how to find what you need.)

The bottom line: Whenever you step up to do something new in your job, you’re probably doing it wrong. Discover the right – and safe – way to do it during Fundamentals of Electrical Work.

Fundamentals of Electrical Work: Introduction to Basic Electrical Construction Concepts gives you the core knowledge you need to work safely, effectively and efficiently in the electrical trade.

These concepts are what every electrical contractor needs to succeed – and what your boss secretly wishes you knew already.

Based on the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC), this 5-week training program gives you skills and knowledge to excel in entry-level positions. It also provides a strong foundation for when you start preparing for the journeyman’s exam.

Who Should AttendFundamentals of Electrical Work is designed specifically for people who are newer to the electrical trade, including:• Electrical helpers, apprentices and other electrical workers with

0-4 years of experience in electrical construction

• Electricians who plan to someday take the journeyman’s exam

• Anyone who is interested in becoming an electrician

• Inside sales reps and switch gear vendors who want to speak their customers’ language

• Project managers and other non-electrician employees who want a better understanding of electrical construction

A Special Message for Owners: Frustrated by the lack of skilled labor? Send your new hires and less seasoned employees to this training and… • Free up your schedule. Proper training takes time. We’ll take it

on … so you can focus on other responsibilities.

• Improve on-the-job safety by educating newer employees about on-site dangers.

• Minimize simple mistakes caused by a lack of must-know essentials.

• Create goodwill among employees by demonstrating that you believe in their potential enough to invest in their training.

• Stand out from your competitors. The industry is rapidly moving toward stricter licensing requirements. Gain the competitive edge over companies that hired unskilled, untrained labor.

Who Should AttendLighting Technology Update Seminar delivers valuable knowledge and skills to anyone who is impacted by and/or interested in LED lighting technology, including:

• Electrical contractors

• Building supervisors

• Plant maintenance managers and directors

• Facility managers at schools, healthcare facilities, and government institutions

• Engineers

• Architects

• Lighting designers

• Building inspectors

• Building committees and department managers


Despite the dramatic advancement of solid-state lighting, statistics show that only roughly 20% of the lighting in the U.S. is now LED. We are still a long way from full adoption. This opening presentation, by Bob Preston, LC, Lighting & Energy Specialist for Capital Electric, will look at the current state of lighting in 2019, the advancement of LED, trends for the future, best opportunities for retrofit, energy impacts and more. This presentation will help set the stage for the seminar topics to follow.

Lighting in 2019 – Where Are We Today?

The rapid adoption of LED lighting has resulted in some unanticipated (and unintended) performance by-products that still plague many common everyday installations. Bob and Bill will dig into some of the most vexing issues related to LED, particularly acute when retrofitting existing applications. Flicker, for example, has come under renewed scrutiny. We will discuss why and how it may also relate to dimming performance of LED. We also will explain the technical challenges in LED dimming, especially when replacing lamps, some failure scenarios, and solutions and tips for reducing dimming problems. And, we will dig into the important subject of glare. What it is and some ways to lessen its effects.

Hiding in Plain Sight: Unexpected Aspects of LED

Selecting the right LED product can seem overwhelming. Scrolling through web sites, pouring over catalogs. So much data and too many choices. But, with a bit of guidance and the right tools, you can narrow the search and greatly improve the odds of getting the right LED for the job. Bill O’Connell, LC, LEED AP with Eaton Lighting Solutions, will lead an enlightening look at the various tools and parameters you’ll want to consider when evaluating an LED light source, including such things as product life and the importance of warranties. We’ll demonstrate LED color and how varying shades of white light can impact human health, behavior and productivity. Plus, we will discuss some interesting things you can do with an LED fixture now that we have a solid-state platform to build on. This presentation will help you understand the technology better and make the right choices.

LED: Color, Control, Reliability and More… It’s All About Choices and Making the Right One

Seminar Topics

LED lighting has been “mainstream” for only about ten years, and dramatic energy savings has driven rapid adoption. However, LED has opened some other new possibilities that may change the way we use lighting and the luminaires that produce it. LiFI, Visible Lighting Disinfection, and Horticulture lighting are examples. We will look at these emerging technologies and applications, and how they may touch our daily lives now and in the future. This presentation will help show that energy savings is no longer the whole story when it comes to LED lighting. And these new applications can have direct impacts in your world and across the globe.

Beyond the Electric Bill – Other LED Lighting Benefits

What are Ra, Rf, Rg? And what do they mean? Do you know that PAR is an identical term for two entirely different and unrelated things in lighting? LED has changed the way we talk about lighting. During each of our topic presentations, we will explain some of these annoying abbreviations and terms to help you “talk the talk” when it comes to understanding lighting better.
