Description
This class covers identification of the operating characteristics and nameplate information of most types of electric motors. Students will evaluate the operation of AC motors and DC Motors such as the series, shunt and compound motor. Students will use a mega-ohm-meter (meggar) to troubleshoot and test motor windings. This course also will introduce students to electric motor drives, they will be able to install and program an electric motor drive for motor speed control, including ramp up and ramp down parameters. Students learn how three-phase alternating current (AC) is generated in Delta or Wye circuits. Lab work will reinforce the theory. Included in the labs will be hands on wiring and hands on diagnostics. Prepares students for troubleshooting electrical motors circuits found in manufacturing processes. A complete motor control panel build and wiring exercise will be performed based on an electrical system schematic. Prerequisite: AMAR 1500 Electrical Motor Controls.
