The two most common motor classes are synchronous and induction motors. Synchronous motors are more efficient than induction motors, but are more expensive and complicated and typically have a shorter life span. This course covers fundamentals of these motor classes and is geared towards engineers of all disciplines who are responsible for sizing, specifying, selecting, or purchasing electric motors.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the construction and operating principles of synchronous and induction motors.
- Compare the relative merits and typical applications of induction and synchronous motors.
- Identify synchronous motor types, including brush excitation and brushless excitation.
- Describe synchronous motor starting methods.
- Distinguish between induction motor types, including squirrel-cage and wound-rotor motors.
- Classify motor enclosure types, including open, weather-protected, totally enclosed, and explosion-proof enclosures.
- Explain how to specify the insulation system and temperature rise and how temperature affects motor service life.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
