Webinar
No. E-2015WOverview
This interesting and unique webinar is designed to show how many types of motors are turned on and off. While the subject may sound very elementary, this basic study introduces concepts that reach far into many engineering specialties. We'll look at a number of different AC motors and ways to start and stop them. We'll also cover reversing techniques and various electronic techniques for controlling motors.
Both Alternating Current motors and Direct Current motors are covered. All in all, this is a great fundamental program covering a subject that is often overlooked in our educational systems.
This webinar is designed for electrical engineers as well as engineers of other disciplines. Electrical engineers will gain a deeper understanding of how motors are controlled. Engineers from other disciplines will get an idea of the problems faced by the people responsible for making their facilities and plants run properly. This will help engineers understand each other’s special problems. The more that we, as engineers, understand the problems faced by other engineers, the better that we will be able to do our specific jobs.
There is very little math involved in doing this course. It is mainly an explanation of how various kinds of starters and speed controls work. Many schematic drawings are included to help engineers understand how the devices that are covered work.
It would be almost impossible to cover all of the various motion control devices out here in the industrial world, however the instructor will attempt to give a comprehensive overview of the most common devices that he has been exposed to in 25 years of industrial experience.
Learning Objectives
In this 2-hour webinar, you'll learn ...
- How NEMA starters and controls, including reversing starters are used and applied
- Reduced voltage starters including Wye-Delta starters and autotransformer starters
- Solid state reduced voltage starters including soft starts
- Inverters
- Classical DC motor starters
- DC drives
