    Description
    This course is an intermediate study of basic ladder and wiring diagrams used in the control of electric motors, which includes the various electrical components and their functions as applied to motor controls. Topics include the various types of motors used in applying electro-mechanical power: motor starting components, protective devices, heat dissipation, motor slippage and frequency, multi speed motors and variable speed drives (VFDs) are discussed. Lab assignments allow the student a hands-on approach to wiring various control components in the operation of three-phase motors.
