Course Description

The Motors & Motor Controls class specializes in high-demand career areas expecting a critical shortage of qualified workers.  This course covers the principles and application of industrial sequential control and electrical controls construction as found in a typical manufacturing environment.  Topics include AC fixed speed motor control; control transformers, relays, timers, and counters; mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic input and output devices; sequencing and logic functions; introduction to component and systems troubleshooting. 

Course Outline

1. Basic safety rules
2. Schematic symbols for 3 phase motors; manual, magnetic and reversing motor starters; overloads; fuses; and basic Hand-Off-Auto and Forward-Reverse-Jog motor control circuits
3. Operation and function for 3 phase motors; manual, magnetic and reversing motor starters; overloads; fuses
4. AND, OR, NOT, NOR and NAND logic and memory
5. Transformer, switches, indicators and relays 
6. Input and output devices
7. Electro-hydraulic and electro-pneumatic, control operations and components
8. Troubleshooting and testing
