Electrical Systems for Maintenance Professionals
Event Details
NJAA has partnered with Paul Hartz, F.W. Webb to deliver this hands-on instructional training focused on electrical fundamentals for multifamily maintenance professionals.
This course provides a practical introduction to residential and light commercial electrical systems, with a strong emphasis on safety, system awareness, and real-world decision-making in the field. Participants will learn how to recognize common electrical components, understand how basic systems operate, and determine when a repair can be handled in-house versus when a licensed electrician is required.
Throughout the session, attendees will build confidence working around electrical systems while exploring key concepts such as voltage, current, resistance, low-voltage versus high-voltage systems, and the basics of three-phase power commonly found in mechanical equipment. The training also reinforces critical safety practices, including proper use of testing tools and lockout/tagout procedures.
Please note: Continental breakfast will be provided to attendees.
