Electrical Motor : Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

About The Course

At the end of the course, the participants should be able to determine the different types of motors and their applications. The participants should be able to list or identify some of the early signs of motor failures and their corresponding corrective actions and maintenance. The participants should also be able to assemble simple motor starter, and troubleshoot simple and complex motor controls.

Design for

Technicians, Electric Engineer and anyone who wants to broaden knowledge on this topics.
