T his course addresses the critical skills essential to the effective invest igation and evaluation of fires involving potential electrical fire causes . This course utilizes state of the art techniques\, practices\, protocols and standards to assist investigators to properly and effectively evaluat e electrical systems and associated components to ascertain their role in a fire. Students will be provided with a basic knowledge of electricity\, electrical circuits and distribution systems\, proper evaluation and recog nition of common electrical faults and failures of electrical components a nd circuits\, as well as a working knowledge of the National Electrical Co de (NEC) and how it applies to fire investigations. The use of &ldquo\;Arc Mapping&rdquo\; will also be discussed and how it can be effectively used to assist in fire origin determination. Participants will also be able to demonstrate a general knowledge of electricity\, electrical circuits\, sy stems and arc mapping principles through a series of instructor-led &ldquo \;hands-on&rdquo\; practical exercises.
