3 Phase Motor Control Bootcamp

Take your electrical motor control skills from zero to hero!

Created by: The Wiring Wizard
Electrical Controls Instructor

What Will I Learn?

• How to design and wire up 7 essential 3 phase motor control circuits, push button operated.
• DOL, reverse, on delay, off delay, star/delta, mixed voltage, DC injection braking.
• 3 phase squirrel cage motor characteristics and connections.
• How the parts that make up motor control systems operate and how they are used in a circuit.
• The difference between star and delta formations.

Requirements

• Some prior knowledge of AC electric circuits and motors would help but it's not critical.
• Basic knowledge of simple power formulas and ohms law.
• The difference between voltage and current.
• An understanding of normally open and normally closed contacts is ideal but not critical.
• Understand the difference between 3 phase and single phase voltages and connections. We go over it briefly at the start.

Target audience

• People interested in becoming electrical control technicians.
• Pre-apprentices or apprentices interested in learning 3 phase motor controls.
• Electricians that want to take their motor control skills to the next level.
• Anyone interested in learning about 3 phase motor controls and their applications.
