EECT 233 - Industrial Motors and Controls
PREREQUISITES: EECT 111 - Introduction to Circuit Analysis
PROGRAM: Electronics and Computer Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Provides a complete understanding of basic ladder and wiring diagrams used in the control of electric motors. Includes the various electrical components and their functions as applied to motor controls. Topics include the various types of motors used in applying electro-mechanical power, ranging from small AC shaded-pole fan motors through larger three-phase motors. Motor starting components, protective devices, heat dissipation, motor slippage and frequency and multi-speed motors are discussed. Lab assignments allow the student a hands-on approach to wiring various control components in the operation of three-phase motors.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be expected to:
- Practice safety while working with electricity.
- Describe and diagram how electrical power is generated, both DC and AC.
- Analyze electrical power distribution including transformers, power factors and power monitoring.
- Analyze methods of power factor correction.
- Analyze uninterruptible power systems found in industry.
- Demonstrate three-phase power applications.
- Describe how electromagnetic theory relates to industrial machines.
- Interpret electrical line/ladder and wiring diagrams as pertaining to motor control.
- Identify electrical and mechanical devices from their symbols and describe their NEMA classifications when placed in different environmental applications.
- Test and troubleshoot electrical devices such as relays, solenoids, and contactors used for motor starter, time-delay and reversing circuits.
- Analyze the operation of single-phase motors.
- Discuss the operation and specifications of polyphase motors to include squirrel cage, wire wound and synchronous.
