AC/DC Motors and Drives

Course Description
Our AC/DC Motors & Drives course delivers an interactive training experience designed to help you understand how electrical motors and drives work with each other and other systems.

You will understand how to identify and calculate the speed, torque and horsepower of a motor, how motors and drives operate, and identify the hard-working hardware and firmware involved in their operation. Learn how to match your system components to their respective applications and about the safety considerations associated with operating electromechanical systems. Download PDF brochure

System Components�Learn the basic terminology and principles involved with motors and drives, giving you a base for the other principles presented in the course

AC/DC Motors�Understand the torque related principles of AC motors, the magnetism related principles of DC motors and how they use such laws as magnetism, speed, horsepower and torque to produce power

Selecting a Replacement Motor�Interpret a motor�s nameplate and understand the nameplate data so you can find a replacement motor or an acceptable substitute

Line Protection and Filtering�Number the reasons behind understanding fuses and filtering devices: 1) Protect personnel from electrical dangers, 2) Operate a electrical code compliant system, and 3) Extend the life of equipment through proper fusing and filtering

Electrostatic Concepts�Avoid electrostatic discharge by knowing their causes and what components are affected by them

AC/DC Drives Hardware�Consider the differences between AC and DC drives, and learn more about the functions, components and firmware of AC drives

AC & DC Braking�Stop a motor using three different methods, learn their advantages and disadvantages, and the two main electrical breaking methods and how they relate to AC or DC drives

Testing the System�Study the five different electrical measuring tools that can be used to help diagnose problems in AC/DC drives

Checking the System�Master the pre-power and power-on checks that will locate bad alignment and bad wiring in a drive

Using the HIM with the Drive�Monitor the parameters of a drive that will help you program, maintain, and troubleshoot and AC/DC drive using a human interface module commonly call the H-I-M or HIM

Selecting a Drive�Know the applications of variable speed and motion control, matching the proper drive with the proper application
