This video explains how motor controls safeguard equipment from damage and contribute to efficient operation and production.
~ Protection
~ Starting
~ Speed Control
~ Stopping
Motor protection covers the disconnection types, overcurrent and overload provisions, and other protection devices.
Motor starting is a vital consideration, as the starter must supply the motor with sufficient current to bring it up to speed under the worst-case voltage and load conditions. Six types of reduced voltage starters are described.
Under speed control, you will learn about five external drives along withmulti-speed and adjustable-speed motors as well as controls.
The section on drive types provides a complete look at how drives impact the operation of equipment.
You'll find detailed explanations of how adjustable and variable speed drives operate, and separate sections on:
~ Mechanical Drives
~ Speed-Flow Reduction Drives
~ Multi-Speed Motors
~ Adjustable Speed Drives
~ Direct Current Drives
Four methods other than allowing a motor to coast to a stop are also discussed.
This video provides an overview of how electricity causes a rotor to turn and offers guidelines for specifying the appropriate motor for a given application.
Fundamentals covers general information concerning the broad range of motors found in all segments of the economy. It discusses the principals of how these machines operate and the magnetic forces involved.
~ Characteristics of Motors
~ Classifications of Motors
~ Principles of Operation
~ Parts and Components
~ Nameplate Information
The course details four factors in motor replacement:
~ Mechanical components of the driven load
~ Physical and environmental conditions
~ Economic considerations
~ Efficiency
The four design classifications of induction motors are similarly defined along with their typical applications. Speed characteristics, starting, running, and stopping functions are also covered.
The first section on economic comparisons examines the economics of motor replacement.
The section on maintenance offers a complete review of proper maintenance practices for motors. Beginning with safety and moving toward preventative maintenance, this section provides information on:
~ Cleaning Motors
~ Lubrication and Bearings
~ Noise and Vibration
~ Insulation and Windings
~ Brush and Commutator Components
The section on troubleshooting provides an indispensable reference guide on dealing with malfunctioning motors and drives. The physical and electrical sources of motor failure are covered, as well as the step-by-step instructions for troubleshooting specific problems.
Watch and listen as a certified master technician explains the importance of routine maintenance and adjustments. He shows how to check fluid levels (oil, brake, transmission, power steering, coolant, windshield washer fluids); check the battery, belts, air cleaner, wiper blades, and lights; and check lubrication points, oil and fuel filter, and tires. Personal safety and environmental protection are emphasized. He also explains how to find a good mechanic.
