This course is designed for a beginner and for the operator that has some experience in the maintenance field and around electrical equipment.

This course will refresh the student’s memory on safety to include lock out, tag out, and block out. The student will also learn how electricity is generated both in a simple generator and in a power plant so that if there are problems with a facility emergency generator, they will have an understanding as to how it operates so that they can troubleshoot and repair it promptly.
In this course we will trace how electricity leaves the generator, either from the power plant or backup generator and trace that throughout the building to include electrical panels, receptacles, disconnects and ultimately to the different types of loads that may be found though out the building.
The student will also learn how electricity can be controlled to make a single-phase or a three-phase motor operate properly.
The student will learn how three phase motors should be wired whether they are, 3 lead, 6 lead, 9, or 12 lead motors, whether they are Wye configuration or Delta configuration in both high or low voltage.
We are also going to discuss VFD’s, the makeup of the VFD and what their purpose is.

This course is designed to get the facility operators enough information so they can maintain their buildings running at peak efficiency.

In 1979 Julio enlisted in the US NAVY where he acquired necessary skills in maintaining and servicing various types of air conditioning systems, air handlers, chillers, hydraulics/pneumatics systems, pumps, and boilers.

After the Navy, Julio made a decision to continue his career as a building engineer with Washington Metropolitan Air Transit Authority (WMATA) where he developed a passion for teaching. He felt strongly about sharing and passing his knowledge to others and taught HVAC systems, Refrigeration, Electrical Motors, Schematics, Basic Electricity, and Heat Pumps, as well, as prep courses for CFC Universal and R410-A and other refrigerants to over 9,000 students during his teaching career.

Julio Herrera believes that the online technical skills training school without walls “AirCon Academy” will provide the opportunity to learn HVAC trade to everyone, any place, any time, on any device.

“I enjoy teaching and seeing how information and knowledge which I give to my students, changes their confidence at a work place, enhances careers, and improves their financial state. I am proud of my students who are now owners of HVAC companies, directors of building engineering, or just extraordinary HVAC professionals who can troubleshoot the equipment, fix it if needed, and suggest improvements to it’s maintenance”
