Title: Lesson
Course: Basic of Motor Theory (IC 105-IC 105) > Section: Web Content

Some of the key points in this weeks lesson are:
Stator construction and operation as well as different rotor types and operation.
Different construction and characteristics (relative starting and running torque, use of centrifugal switches) for resistive-start, capacitor-start, capacitive-start/capacitive-run, and two-value capacitor induction motors.
Synchronous speed, and the relationship between motor slip and motor torque.
Reversing AC motors single-phase and three-phase.
Reading Assignment:
Electrical Motor Controls - Chapter #7  AC Generators, Transformers, and AC Motors
Industrial Control Electronics - Chapter #6  AC Motors
Electrical Wiring Industrial - Chapter #9  Motors and Controllers (128-147 pgs)
In the Handout section there are two power points, one follows the text from chapter #7 of the Electrical Motor Controls text book and the other follows the text of the Industrial Control Electronics text book chapter #6.
You will find videos this week that explain the construction and theory of AC motors. The second one is made by the military and is dated, but does a very good job of explaining the theory, it is also somewhat lengthy.
Under the Coursework page this week you will find an upload assignment. I would like you to make a word document with the answers to the Problems (1-35) from the end of chapter #6 of the Industrial Control Electronics text books and the Review Questions (15, 17, 18, 21, and 23) at the end of chapter #7 of the Electrical Motor Controls textbook. Then upload them for grading.
Also in the Coursework is an assignment to log in to the remote server, select the icon "Troubleshooting Motor Circuits" (this is a motor and motor controls troubleshooting software), set-up a log in (user name is mitchell tech user name and password), open the software and complete the following:
Introduction
Troubleshooting Safety
Finding Motor Circuit Faults (only 4 of the 5 tabs)
Motor windings and connections
Motor behavior
Motor control components
Determining causes of failure (including the Lab Exercise 1 & 2)
Stop before the practice exercises, they are not due for this assignment.
There is no need to upload this assignment as I have management software that allows me to review everything that you have completed, so I will go in after the closure date and complete the grading for the assignment.
