Description

Objective:

The course objective is to introduce the learner to theory concepts such as magnetism and induction. After the theory concepts have been mastered, the student is introduced to motor nameplates, AC alternators, three-phase motors, and squirrel-cage motors.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe various magnetic principles and magnetic properties
  • Explain how mutual induction creates current and a magnetic field in a nearby circuit
  • Explain how a loop of conductor in a magnetic field creates thrust and rotary motion
  • Explain the difference between conventional and electron current flow theories
  • List and describe the common electrical ratings on the motor nameplate
  • List and describe the common operating ratings on the motor nameplate
  • List and describe the common mechanical design codes on the motor nameplate
  • Describe the construction and operation of an alternator
  • Describe how the output voltage and frequency are controlled in an alternator
  • List the parameters to match and explain how to parallel two or more alternators
  • Demonstrate how the synchronous speed of a motor is calculated
  • Describe how a rotating stator field is created
  • List and describe the parts of a squirrel-cage motor stator and rotor
  • List the different types of squirrel-cage rotors (rotor design codes) and explain how their design determines torque
  • Describe how the induced current in the rotor is converted to torque

General Topics:

  • Magnetism and induction
  • Motor nameplates
  • AC alternators
  • Three-phase motors
  • Squirrel-cage motors
