Training Course Overview
This AC Electrical Motors and Drives training course provides comprehensive coverage of AC motors and their associated drives. AC motors are essential to industrial operations across various applications. It's safe to say that more than half of the world's energy consumption is converted into mechanical work by AC motors, which are controlled by drives.
This training course will enhance your understanding of maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for these critical industrial machines, leading to reduced downtime and higher productivity. Additionally, learning about their protection, functionality, and integration with the overall system will help safeguard these valuable assets from failure, ensuring both equipment longevity and the safety of operations personnel.
This training course will feature:
- Understanding types of AC motors and their starting methods
- Principle of operation of variable speed drives
- Identification of the various types of variable speed drive
- Trouble shooting and maintenance of variable speed drives
- Protection of motors and drives
