Electrical Motor Controls-32 Hr

Emphasizes the reading and designing of magnetic motor control circuits using ladder diagrams. It includes a study of the different types of controlling devices such as relays, starters, and contactors. Pilot devices (manual and automatic switches) and their symbols are also included. Hands-on experience will be gained by constructing and testing some of the circuits studied and designed. Will also study the National Electrical Code and all the code requirements associated with motors and motor controls, covering conductor sizing, over current protective device sizing, tap rules, and wiring methods related to motor installations. This course will help electricians of all levels install motors and motor control circuits safely and compliant to the National Electrical Code.
