Motor Controls

Description

Industrial Motor Controls teaches the basics of electricity and how energy is converted to perform work. Motor controls will be used to govern in predetermined manners the performance of electric motors.

Skills

Focuses on the development of academic knowledge, employability skills, and technical skills. As students progress through the curriculum, the classroom instructor uses a detailed rubric to subjectively evaluate the student’s skill and proficiency.

Objectives

  • Define electric charge and electric current.
  • Identify amps, volts, and ohms.
  • Differentiate between insulators, conductors, and semiconductors.
  • Describe the law of magnetism.
  • Learn the basic parts of a DC motor and how it operates.
