Course Overview
The Basic Electrical Concepts (EMS-100) course by Rockwell Automation is designed to equip I&C technicians, electricians, and electrical technicians with foundational knowledge in direct current (DC) electricity and magnetism. This instructor-led training covers essential topics such as electrostatics, Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, circuit analysis, capacitance, inductance, and AC generator fundamentals. Participants gain a thorough understanding of electrical quantities, resistance in series and parallel circuits, and power factor in AC systems. With industrial automation growing rapidly—projected to exceed $300 billion globally by 2027—demand for skilled electrical technicians continues to rise, making this foundational training critical for those entering or advancing in the field.
Students engage in hands-on exercises using Rockwell Automation’s industry-standard training platforms, constructing and analyzing practical DC and AC circuits under guided lab conditions. The course includes extensive lab work where learners build resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits, measure voltage and current using multimeters, and observe phase relationships in AC systems. Using real-world scenarios such as troubleshooting faulty circuits and validating Kirchhoff’s Laws experimentally, students develop practical skills applicable in manufacturing, maintenance, and plant operations. The lab environment emphasizes safety, precision, and real equipment handling, ensuring trainees are prepared for actual plant-floor challenges.
While the Basic Electrical Concepts (EMS-100) course does not lead directly to a certification exam, it serves as a critical prerequisite for advanced Rockwell Automation certifications and career advancement in industrial maintenance. Graduates often pursue roles with median salaries ranging from $55,000 to $75,000, depending on experience and location.
