Service Description

CALL FOR TRAINING DATES IF NONE ARE CURRENTLY LISTED! +1 513.874.3225 Who will benefit? No prerequisites required, though apprentice-level electrical knowledge is beneficial. Manufacturing and automation industry professionals, maintenance technicians, machine operators, and sales representatives will be empowered with foundational knowledge. Even seasoned personnel will likely experience increased understanding of their core competencies. What is it about? This course covers the fundamentals and principles of industrial electrical systems utilized in motor control applications, with an emphasis on safety. AC Electrical Power, Motors, and Motor Control Technology will be the focus of the class. Theoretical discussions will be reinforced through hands-on exercises. Basic electrical history and principles a foundation. Students will then be given instruction regarding modern motor control theory, the hazards associated with work on live electrical circuits, industry standards, and applying the correct components. Students will configure circuits and test energized components with meters.
