INDT 204 - AC/DC Motors
PREREQUISITES: INDT 113 - Industrial Electrical I or EECT 111 - Introduction to Circuit Analysis .
PROGRAM: Industrial Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2025
This course is designed to provide an understanding of circuits using alternating current and the motor operation. This course will give each student a general understanding of common types of electric motors, extending from the small shaded pole fan motors to the large three-phase motors. Direct current motors will also be covered. The student will receive an education in motor theory, magnetism and how it affects motor rotation, and how capacitors affect a motor circuit will be included.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Review of basic electrical concepts (voltage, current, resistance, reactance, and Impedance). [e]
- Demonstrate and ability to discuss and define electro-magnetism and induction. [f]
- Discuss the operation and use of DC and AC motors. [f]
- Distinguish the difference between three-phase & single-phase distribution. [e]
- Describe the general principles of electric motor controls. [f]
- Select and install control devices that will achieve specific operations. [b, e]
- Troubleshoot complex circuits. [b, e]
- Recognize types and application circuits. [e]
- Maintain and install electrical components safely. [c]
- Demonstrate ability to read and interpret technical documents. [b, e]
- Demonstrate ability to use various types of software applicable to course. [a]
