Course Details
This course is designed to provide knowledge and skills required to install, maintain and troubleshoot machine controls.
At the completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Define the safety considerations that must be observed when installing, checking or locking out electrical equipment
- Define uses and functions of input and output devices, relays, and motors
- Demonstrate the reading of schematic diagrams and logic
- Define an open and short condition and perform voltage and current measurements
- Demonstrate the proper use of the following test equipment in lab to measure voltage, current, resistance and continuity: VOM, DVM, Multi-meters, continuity tester and amp probe
- Approximate secondary voltage, secondary current and primary current of a transformer when given its turns ratio, primary voltage and secondary load
- Identify the proper wiring configurations of a control transformer’s primary current for 240V and 480V operation
- Approximate a transformer’s maximum primary current for 480V operation, using the nameplate information
