An Introduction to Electronics and Electrical Safety

This NQF Level 5 course provides foundational knowledge of electricity, focusing on essential terms, concepts, and practices. Students will explore potential difference (voltage), current, resistance, and power, gaining an understanding of grounding, AC/DC power, 3-phase power, and the function of protection devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, and earth-leakage breakers. Practical tasks include soldering, constructing cables using orthodox wiring techniques, and developing safety plans for electrical setups. By identifying risks and understanding the applications of upstream and downstream protection, students learn to safeguard people, equipment, and infrastructure effectively. The course equips learners with the technical knowledge and practical skills required for safe and efficient operations in the media and entertainment industries.
