RESOURCES NEEDED: TEXT: Troubleshooting Electric Motors, Mazur (Others may be used - see instructor or bookstore) SUPPLIES: Scientific calculator as specified by instructor 4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Enables the student to study, construct, test, and evaluate basic industrial control systems, including AC/DC motors, stepper motors, power sources, generators, tachometers, line diagrams and logic functions. Covers safety standards and preventive maintenance. 68 contact hours. 5. COURSE GOAL: To familiarize the student with fundamentals of motors and applications used with motor systems. Exploration of different types and troubleshooting techniques will be included. 6. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of the course, students will When students have successfully completed this course, they will understand the following and be able to: (A) Define the most common terms and components used in motor control systems. (B) Demonstrate the use of multiple stop and start switching using ladder and logic diagrams. (C) Identify appropriate applications for different types of motors. Load, Torque, horsepower, and environmental considerations. (D) Understand various methods of wiring and using three-phase motors. (E) Demonstrate aspects of motor failure prevention. Overcurrent, overload, phase, and voltage imbalance protection. (F) Troubleshoot brushes, commutators, starting capacitors, and use of troubleshooting guides. (G) Understand special motors including stepper and high efficiency types and troubleshooting of controllers. 7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES: Unit grades will be averaged along with laboratory experiments and final exams. All laboratory experiments ¼ of total grade All unit tests ½ of total grade Final lab and lecture exams ¼ of total grade The instructor at the conclusion of each unit of study gives unit tests. All written tests will be completed during class periods. Calculators may be used. Grading ScaleRaw Score Range Letter Grade 100 to 92 A 91 to 84 B 83 to 75 C 74 to 68 D 67 to 0 F Special Remarks: 1. Materials Required: All materials required to complete experiments is available in lab or will be purchased through the bookstore. 2. Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week.

Tardy Policy: A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies. 4. Assignments/Missed Exams: It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments. If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist. Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion. 8. COURSE OUTLINE Tentative Schedule 9. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION: To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities. 10. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor. 11.
