MFG* 143 Industrial Motor Control

Credits: 3

In the global economy of today, it is imperative that the manufacturing of each product is as cost-efficient as is physically possible. This efficiency is brought about through the application of the latest technology to the manufacturing process.

The process of motor control is integral to the flow of the product from raw material to finished product. Industrial Motor Control will familiarize the student with the following: principles of solid-state control devices add their components (such as semiconductors, p-n junction, Zenor diodes, and transistors); alternating current (AC) and direct current (DS) motor controls; motor drives; control circuits; motor starters and pilot devices.
Prerequisite: Eligible for MAT* 095 of higher.
