FACM2020 — Advanced Motors and Controls
FACM 2020 - Advanced Motors and Controls FACM 2020 - Advanced Motors and Controls Hours/Week: Lecture 2 Lab 1 Course Description: This course continues and builds on the concepts and principles of single-phase and three-phase facility electrical equipment and distribution systems. Topics include single and three-phase motors and motor controls, centralized motor control (motor control centers) and distributed control (combination motor starters), low-voltage starting methods, motor speed control methods (variable frequency drives), and automation controls (programmable logic controllers). An emphasis is also placed on NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety procedures, as related to facilities management work. Students must be able to perform physical tasks to complete course requirements. MnTC Goals No changes. wire and make test meter measurements in two- and three-wire motor control circuits. draw two- and three-wire motor control circuits for single- and three-phase motors using industry accepted methods and symbols. troubleshoot motor starters and control circuits using test meters. identify fuse and circuit-breaker ratings and overcurrent protection coordination for switchboards and panel-boards. wire three-way and four-way switches. wire GFCI and other receptacles. identify, apply, and practice National Fire Protection Association 70E electrical safety procedures. connect single- and three-phase motors for both high and low voltage, and reversing. wire and make test meter measurem
