ELEC 129 - AC/DC Motors and Controls
Credit Hours: 4
Billable Contact Hours: 6
Prerequisites: ELEC 125
Session Cycle: FL
This course is designed to provide students with a knowledge of AC/DC motor operating characteristics and control circuits including variable frequency drives, switchgear starting and control circuits and power control with various Thyristor (SCR’s and Triac’s) devices. It will provide hands-on experience with wiring control circuits, checking the operational characteristics of AC/DC motors and the use/installation of circuit protection devices. Development and application of ladder logic theory, diagrams and circuits will be covered along with basic programmable logic controller (PLC) operation. Basic operation and circuit characteristics of three-phase alternators and transformers will be covered as well as operating principles of DC generators.
