This course is a study of construction and theory of operation of  both DC and AC motors. The methods for controlling speed and speed regulation of the each type of DC motor (series, shunt, and compound) will be examined, as well as the industry standards for reversing these motors. Study of construction, theory of operation, and methods of revering both single-phase and poly-phase AC motors. Examines special performance characteristics of servo motors. Introduces DC drive and AC drive operations and functions for industry; such as accelerating and decelerating, high starting torque, and speed regulation.
