Motor Control & Relay Logic

MCB101

COURSE PURPOSE

This one-day hands-on seminar will address the basics of 2-wire and 3-wire motor control circuits using ladder diagrams and wiring diagrams. This building block of electrical theory utilizes relay logic concepts to establish a logic perspective. Preventative maintenance and troubleshooting skills will be utilized. The National Electrical Code will be observed throughout the instruction but most specifically Article 430.
