ELECTRICAL SCIENCE

ABSTRACT

The Electrical Science Fundamentals Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility

operating contractors provide operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with

the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of electrical theory,

terminology, and application. The handbook includes information on alternating current (AC)

and direct current (DC) theory, circuits, motors, and generators; AC power and reactive

components; batteries; AC and DC voltage regulators; transformers; and electrical test

instruments and measuring devices. This information will provide personnel with a foundation

for understanding the basic operation of various types of DOE nuclear facility electrical

equipment.

Key Words: Training Material, Magnetism, DC Theory, DC Circuits, Batteries, DC

FOREWORD

The Department of Energy (DOE) Fundamentals Handbooks consist of ten academic

subjects, which include Mathematics; Classical Physics; Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and

Fluid Flow; Instrumentation and Control; Electrical Science; Material Science; Mechanical

Science; Chemistry; Engineering Symbology, Prints, and Drawings; and Nuclear Physics and

Reactor Theory. The handbooks are provided as an aid to DOE nuclear facility contractors.

These handbooks were first published as Reactor Operator Fundamentals Manuals in

1985 for use by DOE category A reactors. The subject areas, subject matter content, and level

of detail of the Reactor Operator Fundamentals Manuals were determined from several sources.

DOE Category A reactor training managers determined which materials should be included, and

served as a primary reference in the initial development phase. Training guidelines from the

commercial nuclear power industry, results of job and task analyses, and independent input from

contractors and operations-oriented personnel were all considered and included to some degree

in developing the text material and learning objectives.

The DOE Fundamentals Handbooks represent the needs of various DOE nuclear

facilities' fundamental training requirements. To increase their applicability to nonreactor nuclear

facilities, the Reactor Operator Fundamentals Manual learning objectives were distributed to the

Nuclear Facility Training Coordination Program Steering Committee for review and comment.

To update their reactor-specific content, DOE Category A reactor training managers also

reviewed and commented on the content. On the basis of feedback from these sources,

information that applied to two or more DOE nuclear facilities was considered generic and was

included. The final draft of each of the handbooks was then reviewed by these two groups. This

approach has resulted in revised modular handbooks that contain sufficient detail such that each

facility may adjust the content to fit their specific needs.

Each handbook contains an abstract, a foreword, an overview, learning objectives, and

text material, and is divided into modules so that content and order may be modified by

individual DOE contractors to suit their specific training needs. Each subject area is supported

by a separate examination bank with an answer key.

The DOE Fundamentals Handbooks have been prepared for the Assistant Secretary for

Nuclear Energy, Office of Nuclear Safety Policy and Standards, by the DOE Training

Coordination Program. This program is managed by EG&G Idaho, Inc.
