“The software is working out great. It’s worth making sure that our new maintenance people go through the programs and now it’s going to be a mandatory part of their training. I’ve seen the difference in the few people I’ve run through. The more practice I can get these new troubleshooters the better.”
Dana M.The simulations
Troubleshooting Motor Circuits includes a motor lab and several motor circuit components labs where you can learn about motor circuit concepts.
The industrial garage door simulation included in this module contains components such as three-phase motors, transformers, contactors, overloads, fuses, push buttons and limit switches.
Troubleshooting scenarios cover both three-phase power circuits as well as the control portion of these motor circuits. The simulations contain over 50 circuit malfunctions to solve with faults containing:
- Operate the garage door both electrically and manually
- Take voltage, resistance, and current readings with a multimeter
- Inspect, Repair and Replace electrical and mechanical components
- Disconnect and ring out wires, and
- Trace and replace wires
This simulation contains over 50 circuit malfunctions to solve with faults with a variety of issues, such as:
- Broken wires and loose connections
- Wires shorted to ground
- Defective motors and other components
- Mechanical defects
Added benefits
- Challenges all expertise levels with multiple degrees of fault difficulty in each simulation
- Demonstrations, hands-on labs and continuous performance measurement
- Step-by-step guides help users apply new problem solving techniques to solve faults
- Printable resources including circuit diagrams, schematics and worksheets
- Extra and Genius Faults available for skill maintenance
Designed for…
- Anyone who needs to learn to troubleshoot three-phase motor circuits and their controls
- Use in a classroom or self-study learning
- Learning skills that are directly transferrable to the workplace
- Worldwide use: simulations on resources provided for NEMA and IEC electrical standards
To get the most out of this program, users should have a basic knowledge of electrical theory and should have completed the Troubleshooting Electrical Circuits program.
