In Electronics, students cover the following topics with a certified and experienced instructor. Students will explore the world of electric machines, including the study of rotating electric motors, DC shunt and compound motors, motor speed and torque, motor performance, split phase AC motors, capacitor-start AC motors, permanent capacitor and two capacitor motors, and three phase induction motors.
Explore the world of electric machines. These machines are commonly utilized or found on industrial devices such as wind turbines. In this course an emphasis will be placed on the study of single phase AC motors, three-phase AC electric motors, and DC electric motors. Students will learn industry relevant skills which will include: how to operate, install, analyze performance, and select electric machines for various applications. A strong emphasis will be placed on the study of rotating electric motors, DC shunt and compound motors, motor speed and torque, motor performance, split phase AC motors, capacitor-start AC motors, permanent capacitor and two capacitor motors, and three phase induction motors.
Learn the importance of PLC’s as the fundamental building block for automated systems such as those used on wind turbines. Topics will include basic programming, motor control, discrete I/O interfacing, timer instructions, counter instructions, troubleshooting, event sequencing, application development, process control instruction, and math and database instruction.
