TROUBLESHOOTINGMOTOR CIRCUITSDevelop the skills required to safely troubleshoot all types of motor circuits
The Simutech AdvantageLearn the principles of operation of typical motor circuits and their components using guides, labs and simulations
Use Simutech’s Systematic Troubleshooting Approach to master effective testing methods and techniques to safely problem solve more than 50 motor circuit faults
Develop and refine troubleshooting skills with many hours of hands-on learning
Designed for . . .Anyone who needs to learn to troubleshoot three-phase motor circuits and their controls
Use in a classroom or self-study learning
Learning skills that are directly transferrable to the workplace
Worldwide use: simulations on resources provided for NEMA and IEC electrical standards
The Simulations2 lab simulations are included where you will learn about motor behavior, control circuits and protective components as well as techniques for troubleshooting these circuits.
The main simulation – a commercial garage door control – includes a variety of components including three-phase motor, transformer, contactors, overloads, fuses, pushbuttons and limit switches.
Measure motor phase currents and winding resistances
Locate and repair wiring problems
Identify and replace defective components
