Course overview
Commercial and industrial power distribution systems are some of the most complex circuits in existence. Providing power to applications such as HVAC systems, lighting, and motor-driven machines requires control to make the equipment perform specific functions. In particular, motor-driven machines may need to stop, start, or change directions rapidly. Motor control centers are installed to provide specific controls as needed.
The Motor Control Centers training course explains motor control center functions and common components. It explores the differences between common classifications and their associated wiring schemes. This online training course reviews:
- Motor control basics
