AC & DC Motors
This course provides a complete understanding of basic ladder and wiring diagrams used in the control of electric motors. Topics covered include the various types of motors used in applying electro-mechanical power, ranging from small AC shaded-pole fan motors through larger three-phase motors. Motor starting components, protective devices, heat dissipation, motor slippage and frequency and multi-speed motors are discussed.
