Extra Low Voltage Systems

ELV (Extra-Low Voltage) systems refer to a category of systems and technologies that operate at lower voltage levels than traditional electrical systems. ELV systems are commonly used in building infrastructure for various purposes, including communication, security, and automation. ELV courses cover a range of modules to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to design, install, and maintain these systems.
