Title: Lesson
Course: Motor Controls (IC 106-IC 106) > Section: Web Content

This week the magnetic motor starters are highlighted and the different types of overload protection both mechanical and electrical. Different types of add on devices are looked at to expand the capability of the motor starter. There are some general troubleshooting procedures and a fault guide at the end of the chapter that you might find useful.
Reading Assignment:
Industrial Motor Control - Chapter #5    Relays, Contactors, and Motor Starters    (61-76 pgs) Textbook can be found on the Main Page under the "Handout" section.
In the "Handout" section is the power point from the Electrical Motor Controls textbook chapter #9 (same as last weeks).
In the video portion of the this page I have included an overview of the motor starter, overloads and troubleshooting of the chapter. I have also included a video that does a very good job of explaining and breaking down a motor starter.
The "Coursework" this week contains more information on the following assignments:
Creating a word document and completing the review questions at the end of chapter #9 in the Electrical Motor Controls textbook.
Open the Constructor software on the remote server and you will be designing a circuit with two three-phase motors.
We will begin a new troubleshooting software, log in on the remote server and open the Troubleshooting Control Circuits and follow the directions in the coursework. You may want to take the time to walk through the circuit introduction and information and print out the wiring and line diagram from the Reference button.
