COM4LAB: DC Technology II

The COM4LAB course entitled “DC Technology II” is the second course on the fundamentals of DC technology. Characteristics of various passive electrical components are recorded and the basic circuit types in electrical engineering are practically devised using a number of experiments. The course comprises 15 chapters.

Total duration: Up to 8 hours

Target audience

Among others, the course can be used to support the training process for the following professions:
