Motors, Generators, and Controls (91024)
The Motors, Generators, and Controls Circuit Board and Course provides comprehensive, hands-on instruction in the terminology, principles, and operations of the DC motor, AC synchronous motor, phase shifter, and stepper motor.
Following a carefully designed instructional program, students become proficient with analog and pulse-width modulated (PWM) DC motor positioning, analog and PWM DC motor speed control, variable frequency speed control of an AC synchronous motor, operation of a tachgenerator circuit, and speed and position control of a stepper motor with optional computer interface.
The students may take the course using the Mind-Sight Learning Management System or the non-computer FACET System.
