Catalog

Prerequisite: Completion of ELEC 110. Builds on the student's knowledge of electrical theory and apply this knowledge to electrical motor control. Close attention paid to the National Electrical Code requirements and NEMA requirements. Emphasis placed on installation, maintenance and modification of motor control, presented in a present-day setting. Students will learn new electrical symbols theory, and progress through such topics as circuit layout, control pilot devices, control circuits, reduced voltage starters and multi-speed controllers. Formulas necessary to understand and work with the electrical theory and applications are presented as they are needed throughout the class. (CSU, AVC)
