Students will gain a basic knowledge of electric motors and how they work. They will understand the induction process, the different motor components and how to select the appropriate motor based on working application and environment. Special attention will be placed on the NEMA standard and the overall course is geared towards a US install base, but there will be some discussion of the IEC international standards. Preventative maintenance and common failure modes will also be covered.
