What Electrical And Electronic Equipment And Appliance Repairs covers

Electrical And Electronic Equipment And Appliance Repairs in Electronics Engineering Level 5 follows an appliance from fault to finished repair. The first outcome prepares your tools and materials: classification of materials, semiconductor theory, the semiconductor diode, instrument classification and calibration, care of tools and electrical and electronic symbols. Inspection and testing covers disassembly, sorting screws, tests on a power supply system, troubleshooting methods and safety during testing. You then repair or replace faulty components under the safety rules, test the repaired equipment using test points and safe procedures, and reassemble it with connectors, cable ties, glue, tapes and cooling components.
