This course prepares students to physically wire, troubleshoot, and operate electrical motor control circuits using various electrical components, such as: 3-phase AC motors, reversing magnetic motor starters with overloads, drum switches, control relays, timer relays, pushbutton switches, selector switches, limit switches, pressure switches, and float switches. Students must adhere to all motor control safety rules and procedures. Students will be proficient in reading ladder logic circuit diagrams, checking for proper ground connections, wiring motors for high and low voltage, and interpreting common motor control application circuits. Students will complete hands-on labs with Amatrol’s 85-MT5 trainer, virtual simulations, projects, and critical thinking assignments to help prepare for the silver and gold SACA C-202 Electric Motor Control Systems 1. SACA is an acronym for Smart Automation and Certification Alliance.
