Detailed information about this program
The Applied Industrial Motor Controls certification introduces learners to the essential components, circuits, and troubleshooting techniques used in industrial motor control systems. This course builds both technical and soft skills through hands-on exercises using fault-enabled training systems. Learners explore the operation of individual components such as relays, contactors, and starters, then apply that knowledge in real-world industrial circuit scenarios. This certification prepares students to install, commission, and troubleshoot a range of common electric motor controllers used in manufacturing and processing facilities. Topics include Safety Protocols in Motor Control Environments, Principles of Industrial Electric Motors, Contactors, Relays, and Pilot Devices, Control Circuit Operation and Assembly, Three-Phase Motor Operation and Reversing, Braking and Reduced Voltage Starters, and Use of Wiring Diagrams and Schematics for Troubleshooting.
