Interpret transformer and motor nameplate data
Analyze transformer connections and select the proper connection for specific applications
Implement induction motor starting and control circuitry
Properly specify an induction motor for a specific application
Who is this training course for?
This training course is directed at engineers and technicians who have a working knowledge of three-phase power systems and the basic concepts of magnetic fields. Topics will begin at the fundamentals level and move to more advanced content as the training course progresses. This training course is designed for utility, plant, or consulting engineers and technicians involved in the selection, specification, application, operation, maintenance, installation, or engineering of the installation of motors or transformers. If you have recently begun a career or assignment in these areas, this training course will be of value to you.
This Coventry Academy training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
Engineers and technicians new to the power industry
Intermediate-level engineers and technicians who specify motors and/or transformers
Professionals involved with the application of motors and/or transformers
Facility engineers responsible for motors and/or transformers
How will this training course be presented?
This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented. These methods include workshops where attendees practice solving problems (bring a scientific calculator), case studies where concepts covered are applied to real-world situations, and simulations and animations to visually illustrate what would otherwise be abstract concepts in a novel and intuitive manner.
