This course is an application of common
electrical concepts and relay ladder logic/motor
control circuits used in industry to maintain and
troubleshoot electrical power and control
systems, including variable frequency drive
systems. Students will learn how to install,
operate, maintain, and troubleshoot
single[1]phase transformers, NEMA and IEC
contactors & motor starters, motor branch
circuits, and reversing circuits (power &
control). A heavy focus of the course will be on
variable frequency drives. Students will learn to
install, maintain, program and troubleshoot
