Course Description

***Note: This course is based on 220 v, the difference between the 110 v system and the 220 v system is only the number which means the same rules and laws are used to calculate the loads, on the other hand the concept of the wiring among lights and power sockets are the same for both systems.

***Note: The videos in section 3 which are written as (Ex-Application) you can skip it if you want, because its only to show you the wiring in reality.

If you are a beginner, a fresh graduate or an electrical engineer student and you are interested to learn about the electrical system (the essential basics) in the houses and buildings, so this course will be a good choice for you because of what listed below :

1) This course will let you understand how the electrical wiring is done in our houses, buildings such as offices and so on.

2) You will learn how to wire several light bulbs to switches, also how to wire power sockets and a fan.

3) How to calculate the loads (current and power) for each equipment you would fix it.

4) How to read electrical drawings and plans such as light layout, power layout, single line diagram and load schedule.

5) Circuit breakers will be considered in this course (MCB and MCCB).

6) Types of wires and cables will be considered also.

7) What is the meaning of 3-phase and single phase in our real life.

8) What's the real benefit for earthing and why do we use earth leakage circuit breaker.

9) Moreover I will show you types of switches and power sockets.

At the end of the course you will be familiar with wiring (lights with switches and power sockets) and you will have the courage to read and understand the electrical plans for buildings, but of course you must understand the basics wiring in section 3 to be able to move to section 4 and section 5.

Meanwhile if you have a curious to learn about electrical wiring in houses, this course will give you a good experience, in addition at the end of this course you will be able to apply or to work as a site electrical engineer, or an electrical engineer designer or both.

Please before joining the course watch the free videos in section 1, 2 and 3 to get a clear idea about the course and about my way in teaching. I wish you to like my course and my teaching's strategy.

I request you also don't judge the course before finishing section 3.

Good luck

I'm an electrical engineer, I was born and raised in Kuwait, I had been working as a site and office engineer for 6 years (2012-2018) in two different companies the first company is i-Build company and the second company is Gulf Electrical Engineering, moreover I have designed several projects for i-Build company (designing electrical layouts).

After finishing high school in Kuwait in 2006, I had been in Lebanon for Bachelor degree then I returned back to Kuwait in 2012, and finally I have returned back to Lebanon in 2018 for Masters degree.

2012-Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
2020-Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering
Both degrees from Lebanese International University (LIU).

Thankfully I got a lot of positive feedbacks for my courses, and you can see the reviews and ratings, there are many written reviews, however I used to keep the courses up to date by adding some resources or adding some lectures or questions...etc.

By the way if you have any question you can contact me anytime you want, I will reply immediately when I see your message, that's it.

Excellent course on electrical wiring. The instructor explains every concept clearly, starting from the electrical fundamentals and gradually moving to practical wiring demonstrations. I really liked the combination of theory and hands-on examples, which made even basic wiring concepts easy to understand. A great course for beginners, electrical engineering students, and anyone looking to build a strong foundation in electrical wiring. Highly recommended!

By Adarsh Chandru on 1/15/2024

It's a bit basic. Good starter. The audio could be better. The course instructor is knowledgeable but I felt he was not enthusiastic about teaching as he was sighing a lot and felt like he was being forced to teach. For the practical explanation for wiring the light bulbs, he could have spoken and taken more effort to show or overlay the schematics and then done. I mean overall it could be better!

Provides brief explanations of key concepts pertaining to how electrical appliances work/are set up. No fluff words used. The demonstrations includes equipment not from the USA, I believe the instructor is from overseas. This course is not NATE approved (North American Technician Excellence).

By Nestor Kiourtzidis on 5/13/2022

Good course, clear, practical, to the point. No problem understanding the guy's accent, contrary to what another reviewer mentioned. He has accent, so what? His pronunciation is pretty clear compared to some other non-native English speaking instructors.

It was a nice recap to what I have taken throughout uni. Overall, it was a light course and does not delve into overbearing details. I would have loved that section 5 would have more details or more examples. It would have been nice to have those electrical plan files as resources.

By Matthew Stratford on 6/14/2020

I enjoyed learning, especially working out current, I values and ohm's etc I'm going to go over the course a few more times just to reinforce my learning though. I thoroughly enjoyed this course, even if it went over my head a bit. Still, I'll revise a few more times before I'm confident in my knowledge!

By Huston Fernandes on 10/2/2019

very clear and great examples to illustrate the points. Hope the instructor adds a few more classes on electrical wiring for advanced or intermediate electrical wiring like panel wiring, airconditioning wiring boilers etc. Great job. keep it up.

By Thomas N. Deutsch on 1/11/2019

The instructor has put much effort into this course and has a strong electrical background. From the title I expected more of a step by step course in physically wiring a home. This course has some basic wiring information and instructional videos but is heavy on the electrical theory and design requirements and was not what I expected it to be. I was expecting more of a step by step instruction in putting in a main electrical panel in a home, rather than learning how to calculate the size of the circuit breaker necessary to have in a three phase circuit supplying a 4.8 KVA motor. It was interesting learning how to calculate that but beyond the scope of what I was looking for. It might be helpful to state what international standard the the wire color coding and voltages are representing. I am from the United States and color coding, voltages are not typical. Still a very good course and instructor. Thank you.

By Mayank Mishra on 8/16/2018

I got to learn insides of what goes into the electrical designing when it comes to houses etc., Moreover the guide was very helpful whenever required.

By Sunil Thakur on 6/8/2018

Although we have a different electrical distribution system here in Philippines, I learned so much from this course. It is indeed a very good and helpful course.
