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.
