INDT1043 — Industrial Motor Controls
3 Credits This course covers the fundamentals of D.C. motors, single-phase A.C. motors, and three-phase A.C. motors. The course will also address control devices such as motor starters, contactors, relays solenoids, sensors, timers and switches. Included are maintenance, installation, wiring diagrams, and trouble-shooting. 3 SCH (2 Hour Lecture, 3 Hours Lab). Pre or (PLO 2, 3, 4, 5) Assemble electromechanical control circuits. (PLO 1, 2, 4, 5) Install control devices such as relays, motor starters, transformers, and solenoids. (PLO 2, 4, 5) Construct 3 phase AC motors circuits in forward and reverse applications. (PLO 1, 2, 4, 5) Configure AC motors for high and low voltage configurations. (PLO 1, 2, 4, 5) Differentiate between various power distribution systems used in the industry. (PLO 1, 3, 5) Implement limit switches, sensors, and proximity devices for motor control. (PLO 1, 2, 4, 5) Apply methods for accelerating and decelerating AC and DC motors. (PLO 1, 2, 4, 5) Troubleshoot control system problems, execute solutions as needed. (PLO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Perform preventative maintenance on electrical control devices and circuits. (PLO 1, 2, 4, 5)
