Description/Agenda
This 2-day class is designed for technicians in the field
responsible for installing, programming, troubleshooting, and
retrofitting electric motor drives. This industry-leading resource
begins with electric motor principles, power requirements, and
control methods and focuses on the safe operation, installation,
startup, and troubleshooting of electric motor drives.
This class is 75% Hands-On. Over 30 hands on lab projects.
We use custom training equipment made to be just like the
equipment on the floor. One work station for 2 students. Maximum
of 10 students per class.
We use Allen Bradley PowerFlex 525 Drives for this class.
