In this course, learners examine the fundamentals of electrical AC/DC/Servo/Stepper motors and motor controls. Learners will examine electrical safety work practices and apply NFPA 70 and NEC safety codes to various situations. Motor control devices and components (motor drives, relays, timers, counters, motor contactors, overloads) including electromechanical and solid state equipment will be presented. Learners will operate motors using PLCs. Upon completion of the course, learners will apply ladder logic, wiring diagrams, and PLCs to advanced manufacturing machines.
