Electrical and Motor Control

This program explains in detail the operation of reversing AC motor circuits using drum switches, manual, and magnetic starters.

This program explains AC motors in detail. The general operation of three-phase (3Ø) and single-phase (1Ø) motors is reviewed as well as the components that form a motor.

This program presents students a thorough explanation of electrical control circuits and the diagrams that represent these circuits.

This program discusses electrical control circuits and the addition of memory to a circuit.

This program presents students with a course dedicated to the understanding of control relays and timer devices and the important function they play in the control of machinery and equipment.

In this program students will learn how to create safe motor circuits to control the speed and direction of motors.

In this program students are presented with the acceleration methods used to control the speed of a DC motor. These methods include variable resistance such as rheostat or resistor banks and using solid-state speed control using SCRs.

In this program, students will be presented with the information necessary to understand and apply DC motors and their control circuits. DC motor components and operation are covered in detail.

This program presents the operation of contactors and how these devices are used to control motor operations. Also will show the wiring and connection methods used with contactors and motor starters along with their wiring diagrams.

This program explains the different types of discrete instrumentation sensing devices that are used to sense the position of parts and components and their operation.

This program will explain the different types of process instrumentation discrete sensing devices.

In this program, students will learn about protective switches including fuses, circuit breakers, and motor overload heaters, as well as their respective overload contacts.

This program covers power distribution inside the plant and how this power is properly routed including the use of switchgear and busways.

This program covers the important topic of three-phase (3Ø) power generation and how it arrives at the manufacturing plant or facility.
