Motors and Electrical Systems

Course Description:This 2-credit course highlights how motors and transformers are utilized in industrial applications. In the course, students wire and troubleshoot single and 3 phase AC motors, DC Motors, and stepper and servo motors using ladder diagrams. Students also program and wire variable frequency drives (VFD's) to control 3 phase AC motors. All topics are covered alongside failure modes, troubleshooting and the replacement of devices.The following are an example of competencies assessed in the course:Demonstrates the operating principle of a universal motor.Demonstrates the operating principles of a single phase transformer.Examines the operating principles of a 3 phase transformer.Demonstrates the operation and control of single phase and three phase induction motors.Course Contents:Course materials include a syllabus and a Canvas .imscc file. The 7-page syllabus includes a brief description about the course, information about grading, course policies, and a course schedule.For orientation purposes the Elkhorn Motors and Ind Elec Syllabus.docx.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this curriculum.The .imscc file includes numerous folders and files from the Canvas course.
