Industrial Electrical Controls Fundamentals (Mechanical)

Objectives

At the completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Define the safety considerations that must be observed when installing, checking or locking out electrical equipment
• Define uses and functions of input and output devices, relays, and motors
• Demonstrate the reading of schematic diagrams and logic
• Define an open and short condition and perform voltage and current measurements
• Demonstrate the proper use of the following test equipment in lab to measure voltage, current, resistance and continuity: VOM, DVM, Multi-meters, continuity tester and amp probe
• Approximate secondary voltage, secondary current and primary current of a transformer when given its turns ratio, primary voltage and secondary load
• Identify the proper wiring configurations of a control transformer’s primary current for 240V and 480V operation
• Approximate a transformer’s maximum primary current for 480V operation,using the nameplate information
