ELEC 200 - Ladder Diagrams and Motor Controls

Institution:

Henry Ford College

Subject:

Description:

(3 Credit Hours) Covers the fundamentals of electrical ladder diagrams and motor control circuits. Ladder logic, as well as labels, documentation, and symbology of electrical drawings, is presented with the use of ladder diagrams for troubleshooting. The student designs and draws control circuits for three-phase induction motors and wires these circuits in the motor control lab. Several single phase control circuits are included in laboratory exercises. Also included in the lab exercises are sequencing electro-pneumatic devices. This course is equivalent to TAE 200, which is currently a required course for electrical apprentices. This course will introduce students to the variable frequency drive to control three-phase motor speed. Prerequisites: ELEC 103
