Welcome to AC & DC Electrical Theory, two of ten wind turbine technician classes from Universal Technical Institute's 30-week Wind Turbine Technician program.1 This training places major emphasis on theory, teaching the principles of electrical and focusing on direct current (DC) theory and its practical field applications. Here’s what you’ll learn:

AC & DC Electrical Theory

This is the backbone of this wind turbine technician course. Grasp the fundamental principles behind electricity, understanding how voltage, current and resistance interact within AC & DC circuits. Understand the basics of AC & DC electrical theory to develop the right skills and knowledge for more advanced topics.

Charging and Storage Functions

Explore the principles of charging while learning about batteries and capacitors. Find out how energy is efficiently stored and discharged within DC circuits.

Design and Troubleshooting

Design simple circuits before moving on to more complex systems. Learn wind turbine technician troubleshooting techniques that help in diagnosing and repairing electrical circuits—a key skill in the field.

Lab Projects

Where theory meets practice. Apply everything taught in a hands-on setting, using schematics to construct and troubleshoot functioning electrical circuits. Solidify your understanding and prepare for real-world applications.

By engaging with course materials, participating in lab sessions and successfully completing projects, you can get practical instruction that can help you pursue a career as a wind technician. Whether you're aiming for a career in the wind energy field or want to enhance your existing knowledge, this course can be a pivotal step in your professional development!
