INEL 25020 - Braking Methods

0.42 CR
Rather than letting motors coast to a stop, many applications require a motor to stop (brake) very quickly, especially in an emergency situation. This module continues the study of electrical motor controls by covering more advanced topics, such as the four categories of motor braking: plugging, electromagnetic, DC injection, and dynamic.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Select, analyze, install, and use alternating current motors, motor starters, and control circuits.
  2. Apply industry-specific terminology to explain or discuss motor operations with industry professionals.
  3. Demonstrate safe working conditions in accordance with state and federal regulations.
  4. Distinguish the basic components which comprise electric motor control.
  5. Design and wire basic full voltage reversing and non-reversing combination starters.
  6. Explain the basic control schematics of common motor control circuits.
