Motor Controls

This two-day motor controls course focuses on the design and connection of many of the common circuits used in typical motor control applications. Participants will connect two-wire and three-wire control circuits used for starting, stopping, jogging and reversing a motor. Also covered will be control circuits using timing relays to have two motors stop or start in sequence. The use of pilot lights is also covered. Numerous short lectures, covering approximately 20% of the course, will supplement the hands-on portion of the course.

Using the Canadian Electrical Code the class participants will correctly determine minimum conductor size, determine the correct overload settings and choose the correct ampacities of fuses and circuit breakers for individual motors.

This is a 16 course, Maximum 8 students per session.
