Description	In this course, you are introduced to three-phase electrical motor controls and you learn how to properly use various types of meters to collect operating data and trouble-shoot. In addition, you assemble working motor control circuits such as holding, interlock, low voltage and float controlled circuits. Actual case studies are used to familiarize you with the data and math required for motor and pump evaluation. All participants are advised to bring calculators for classroom examples. Topics include: Safety, electrical panels, motors and controls, performance measurement, and control circuit assembly. Daily breaks provided. You are on your own for lunch. You must be in attendance for the entire course to receive continuing education credit and a Certificate of Attendance.
