AUTO 1840 Heavy Equipment Electrical Systems

Analyzes electrical architectures, sensors, and control modules in heavy industrial machinery.

About this course

Heavy industrial machinery relies on complex electrical architectures to operate. In this course, you will explore the sensors, switches, and control modules that manage everything from engine performance to hydraulic functions. You will learn to read detailed wiring diagrams and use diagnostic tools to find and fix electrical faults.

The course is delivered in the Tamarack Building at Benchlands Campus, where you will work with real heavy equipment components in the trade shops.
