Course Description: This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts, principles, and devices involved in industrial control of motors. Students will also develop the skills necessary for wiring basic motor control and selecting the required pilot devices and safety components. Also includes troubleshooting motor circuitry and understanding Article 430 of NEC. To advance to the next level, the student must demonstrate proficiency to at least “C” grade level.
