Machine Controls and Troubleshooting Training

Without motors and the ability to control them industry would literally grind to a halt. Mastering these controls and safely operating them is essential to maintaining your operation. Learning these fundamentals comes before any steps toward automation are possible. This seminar is designed to introduce students who understand the fundamentals of electricity to the basics of machine control and troubleshooting.

Practical examples are presented using the National Electrical Code to determining proper wire sizes and materials for machines. Determining proper overcurrent and overload protection is part of the learning process. The value of a well-designed electrical preventive maintenance program is discussed, and suggestions are made for justifying and implementing one.

Attendees will reinforce theory by practicing with state-of-the-art software in an instructor led training environment, simulating and troubleshooting virtual motor control circuits. At the conclusion of this concentrated program participants will take away a notebook filled with theory and class notes to reinforce their learning experience.
