Has anyone done the electrical appliance service person course?
I don't want to be a qualified electrician or work in toaster repair, but am interested in knowing more about this stuff, mainly for general interest but also potentially for personal use in the garage. While I could do without spending the fees on this, the course is only a week and I should be able to free that time up.
Interested in feedback as to whether others think that I would learn something from this? My electrical knowledge is fairly basic - watching ElectroBoom youtube videos, college physics (parallel, series, V=IR, P=VI etc.), and knowing where to check to confirm that indeed red/brown = phase and blue/black is neutral <then goes and confirms that>. And (usually) knowing my limits and when to get in someone suitably qualified.
In particular, the reference in the course outline to maintenance on single phase motors is particularly interesting. Though I will be disappointed if that just means changing a set of brushes on a dc motor.
