AC school training courses in Columbus, OH (public, in-house or online)

Knowledge of electrical laws and principles pertaining to AC and DC circuits is important in many industrial settings. Concepts including current, voltage, resistance, power, inductance, capacitance, and transformers are critical in electrical systems. This course presents standard electrical tests, electrical equipment, and troubleshooting procedures. Safety procedures and practices are also introduced and emphasized.

This seminar will discuss the basic characteristics of an AC Induction Motor and the fundamentals of using Field Oriented Control (FOC) of this type of motor.

When you complete this lesson, you will be able to describe and demonstrate how the superposition, Thevenin’s, and Norton’s theorems can be used to simplify computations for complex AC circuits.

Explain the superposition theorem for complex circuits.
Explain Thevenin’s theorem for complex circuits.
Explain Norton’s theorem for complex circuits.

When you complete this lesson, you will be able to discuss procedures for effective troubleshooting of AC induction motors.

Describe five primary steps you should take when troubleshooting motors.
Identify the information found on the motor nameplate.
Describe conditions that can cause a motor to trip or fail to start.
Describe the steps for testing motor insulation and the continuity of winding coils

When you complete this lesson, you will be able to describe how an electric AC motor uses the principles of magnetism and magnetic fields to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
