Current Job Title: Electrical Instructor
Employer: Ace Community College
Employed from: Jan 2021 to Present
Task Performed:
Taught in class on operation of electrical circuits series , parallel, combination circuits covering
all laws governing them also going through voltage divider circuits with special emphasis on
open neutral problems discussing the importance of neutral in 120/240 volt circuits
Also doing labs on series parallel circuits showing conformity with ohms law and doing open
neutral labs. Also working on labs to show the effects of inductors and capacitors when they are
connected in series and parallel.
Analyzing single phase AC series and parallel RLC circuits, power factor correction by installing
capacitor banks to reduce apparent power consumed by industry which they are billed for
Then teaching about electronic circuits, diodes rectification, transistors biasing their cut off,
saturation, their gain
Then telling about dc machines parts like armature, commutator, field poles, brushes and
discussing about their losses and efficiencies and similarly a.c machines transformers Then going
through transformers working on mutual induction their connections as single phase, secondary
grounded at centre tap to provide 240/120 V service.
Then bringing up the concept of electromagnetism and applying that to motors and generators
separately in level 1 and 2 studies along with doing labs on motor controls with motor starter
units showing how the holding contact latches on when push button is pressed on the unit
thereby closing the normally open contacts of the contactor to signify how control circuit switch
on power circuit.
Made questions from the study material and segregated them on continuous basis to determine
their validity and loaded them for student assignments. Helped students in their understanding to
have a technical know how by explaining through display boards, taking them to labs, shops and
showing them the components and how they are put in the circuits and their effects. Also gave
one on one lecturing to students facing problem on some concerned topic.
