This Advanced Marine Electrical Certification course is in an on-demand format containing videos, readable content, and chapter review quizzes.
As the electrical and electronics systems on recreational vessels become more complex, the electrical technician must advance their knowledge base to keep pace with them. This course offers a deeper look at some subjects from the ABYC Marine Electrical Certification course, such as alternative charging sources, AC power-conversion equipment, and galvanic isolation, as well as introducing the advanced topic of three-phase power distribution and the ever-advancing technology of electric propulsion.
