COURSE DESCRIPTIONS


BASIC MOTOR CONTROLS

This seminar will provide the student with practical and useful information on commonly encountered motor controls used in industry. This course is unique in that information on both AC and DC controls are included. Construction and theory of operation are covered in detail along with drawings of several common control circuits. The information provided will be very helpful for anyone who is expected to troubleshoot or maintain AC or DC motor controls.

More Information 

AC DRIVES APPLICATION & MAINTENANCE

This electrical seminar is designed to provide the student with a thorough working knowledge of the application and maintenance of variable frequency AC drive systems. The course includes horsepower and torque theory, an introduction to basic electricity, and then undertakes a detailed analysis of the function of the major AC drive components. The course concludes with each student connecting a 3-phase motor to an AC drive and hands-on AC drive programming and operation.

BASIC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS

This electronics seminar is designed as a beginning level electronics course which will provide the student with an understanding of basic electronic circuitry and component testing. The course begins with oscilloscope theory and operation and analog and digital mutlimeter operation. Electronic circuits that include resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors are constructed and tested.
More Information 


ELECTRICAL FUNDAMENTALS

This electrical seminar is a hands-on workshop that will provide the student with a thorough introduction to electrical theory, basic AC and DC electrical circuits, and electrical drawings. Students will gain knowledge of electrical equipment construction, operation, and application in industry. The workshop will be extremely helpful to individuals who are just beginning a career in electrical work, or who require a basic knowledge of electrical principals and equipment to better their primary responsibilities. This seminar is an excellent prerequisite for the all of our other electrical training courses.

More Information 

ELECTRICAL SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE

OSHA evaluates compliance with its electrical safety regulations, OSHA 1910 Subpart S and OSHA 1926 Subpart K, using the comprehensive information in NFPA 70E® . OSHA bases its electrical safety mandates on the NFPA 70E®. While OSHA tells you what to do to avoid electrical dangers, this seminar, with information provided by the NFPA 70E®, tells you how.

Each attendee will receive a certificate of electrical safety training to help you with your OSHA compliance and a copy of the NFPA Standard for Electrical Safety in the WorkplaceTM.

More Information 

INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS CONTROL

An excellent course for multi-trade industrial maintenance employees, such as I & E designations, or for those maintenance employees new to the tasks of maintaining process control instrumentation. The course defines process control, identifies the common process variables that are manipulated in order to maintain control, as well as providing a hands-on opportunity in assembling and tuning a simulated control loop.

INTERPRETING THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE©

A course designed for those working in the residential, commercial, or industrial electrical industry. The course uses Delmar Publishers' current edition of Interpreting The National Electrical Code as its textbook, which is organized into 15 units covering each subject addressed in the Code Book. Each Article of the Code is thoroughly discussed and reviewed in easy-to-understand language. After each unit the student is encouraged to complete a comprehensive practical review worksheet in order to verify the student's understanding of the material presented in the unit. A final examination is given to determine the student's overall comprehension of the NEC based on the material presented in the course.

PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS - HARDWARE AND PROGRAMMING

This course provides the student with useful information, a working knowledge of PLC systems, and self-confidence in troubleshooting PLC systems that can be immediately put to work on the job. The course is designed to let the student “learn-by-doing”. The information will be presented to the student with a good balance of lecture and hands-on lab work. During the lab work the student will assemble and wire a complete PLC controlled system, consisting of a PLC back plane (rack), CPU, digital and analog input and output modules, counter modules, and a motor control circuit.The course includes a study of analog and digital control, basic input and output control loops, theory of counter operation, types of switches and proximity sensors, programming alarm points, count registers, and count monitoring. A PLC and a laptop computer are provided for each student

A thorough examination of basic AC motor controls and circuits, relay logic, electrical control drawings, and PLC logic is also included.
