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

The primary goal of this chapter is for you to get comfortable with the schematic symbols, the majority of the symbols are printed in the Appendix (658-661 pgs) of the Electrical Motor Controls textbook. The other goal is for you to get familiar with reading and applying the wiring and line diagrams as a tool for troubleshooting motor control circuits. You may also find that one-line diagrams will help you in troubleshooting and designing circuits as it is similar to flow-charting.
Reading Assignment:
Electrical Motor Controls - Chapter #4   Electrical Symbols and Diagrams
Supplemental Reading
Industrial Motor Control - Chapter #2    Symbols and Schematic Diagrams   (Book can be found on the Main Page in the Handout section)
One of the videos below summarizes the chapter points and the other video goes through the basics of the Constructor 10 software and how to save the project back to your computer.
In the "Coursework" page you will find three different assignments that will need to be completed:
Create a word document and complete the Review Questions at the end of Chapter #4 of the Electrical Motor Controls textbook.
Use the Constructor software to design a circuit a described.
Go to the Troubleshooting Motor Circuits on the remote server and complete the first 3 faults of the Basic level.
If have not been a part of the previous class "Basics of Motor Theory", you will want to go through the introduction and sample faults of the software - Troubleshooting Motor Circuits - before completing the Basic level faults, as this is valuable information.
