Electric Motor Control focuses on electric motor control systems in industrial settings, emphasizing practical skills and troubleshooting techniques. Topics include designing and operating control circuits for motors, overload protection, and the use of control relays and motor starters. Students will gain hands-on experience wiring, controlling, and troubleshooting 3-phase motor control circuits. Students will also learn to configure, program, and troubleshoot Variable Frequency Drives, (VFDs) and optimize control parameters. The course also covers VFD diagnostics, fault resolution, and advanced techniques such as ramping, start boost, reduced voltage starting, and servo motion control. This course prepares students for the SACA Electric Motor Control Systems 1 and Variable Frequency Drive Systems 1 certification tests. (24 lecture hours, 57 lab hours)
Electrical System Installation is a hands-on course that provides a foundational understanding of electrical system installation, preparing students for careers in the electrical industry. Key topics include industrial control wiring, grounding systems, panel connections, motor wiring, and raceway systems. Students will also learn basic conduit bending and sizing, as well as the wiring and configuration of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). Emphasis is placed on safety, overcurrent protection, and interpreting electrical diagrams. Through practical lab sessions and real-world scenarios, students will gain the skills to install electrical systems in industrial settings. This course prepares the student for the SACA Electrical System Installation 1 certification test. (22 lecture hours, 53 lab hours)
