Clock Hours: 210

Prerequisites: IMG 0003 - Worker Characteristic

Course Description:
The goal of this course is to teach the student how to wire and troubleshoot motor control systems for various industrial applications using real-world components and schematics.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Prove competency using Safety Practices with electrical systems.
Preform Lockout/Tagout procedure and use a multi-meter.
Understand Electricity, single phase and 3 phase AC, and DC.
Utilize different types of meters to check for voltage, current, and resistance in electrical components.
Connect an electromechanical circuit using pneumatics and electrical components according to schematics given.
Verify the operation of the system and troubleshoot any items needed.
Given a schematic for a motor control circuit, wire the components as designed on the schematic.
Utilize real-world components such as switches, buttons, motors, lights, etc. to design and wire up a motor control circuit.
Ability to design a forward/reverse motor control circuit to operate a motor in both forward and reverse with proper control components, (timers, etc.)
Given a prewired motor control circuit that has faults inserted, be able to troubleshoot the problem with a meter to correct the circuit.
