Level 1 covers the basics of AC
industrial induction motors, theory and application. This
guided course is led by Dr. Howard Penrose, Ph.D., a leading
international expert in the field of electrical motors and systems.
In the first
section, the student will learn basic electro-mechanical theory,
motor and transformer theory, insulation, motor connections (NEMA
and IEC) as well as distribution and control basics. The
second section covers application considerations for AC induction
motors including selection and application. Application,
energy efficiency, installation considerations and the basics of
belted and direct drive alignment and tensioning will be covered.
In the third section of Level 1, general maintenance and
troubleshooting will be covered. Greasing, general maintenance
and an introduction to the application of motor circuit analysis,
electrical signature analysis, ultrasonics, vibration, infrared, multi-meter and
insulation resistance testing is included.
