This 30-hour course is designed to introduce the students to the development of A.C. Motor Controls and give them an understanding of their function and uses. The course content includes an in-depth study of reading basic control circuits and sequences of operation; and designing a schematic control circuit including proper layout and wiring methods.
Hands-on wiring projects are based on two-wire and three-wire control circuits. These projects include start/stop/jog, hand/off/auto, interlocking, forward/reverse, timing relays, pilot lights and duplex pump control applications. The students will have the opportunity to read and interrupt control circuit schematics used in conjunction with their assignments.
