Students will be introduced to troubleshooting as it relates to motor control. They will learn control component, motor starter, power component and systems troubleshooting. This course will also teach students about reversing motor control, automatic input devices and basic timer control (on-delay and off-delay). Students will learn about rotating electric machines. This portion of the course will introduce electrical circuits and work through many industry tasks in electrical systems, including rotating electric motors, split-phase AC motors, three-phase AC induction motors, DC generators, alternators, alternator synchronization methods, and synchronous motors. Students will learn industryrelevant skills, including how to operate, configure, commission, and troubleshoot Cummins Power Generation PowerComman Controls. They will be introduced to commercial generator set controllers and will be able to describe what makes a PowerComman Control and download service literature. Students will learn Basic Generator Set Operation, AVR inputs/ outputs, and Governor inputs/outputs.
