This is a comprehensive course on various types of electric motors used in commercial and industrial applications. The student will learn about all types of DC, AC, Stepper, Servo, Linear, and Synchronous motors. They also learn about slip, braking, ramping, plugging, and reversing techniques. The student should have basic AC/DC theory and some work experience with motors. Class length depends on need (including labs) and types of motors used in the plant. This can also be an intro to variable speed drives. It also covers the basics on relay controlled electric motors; starting, reversing, braking, and other techniques used in commercial or industrial applications. This is a perfect course for anyone working with motor control circuits. We train the students on Drawings. Safety engineering and troubleshooting is also part of the curriculum.

  • Course Fee: INR 24,000/-
  • Eligibility: BE / B Tech Electrical Engineering / Diploma (Electrical)
  • Duration: 2 months

Who should attend?

This course is designed for anyone who needs to understand motors and motor control. The student should complete graduation in Electrical Engineering. This is an equipment level training, which helps the attendee to become full-fledged technician on Motors and drives. Perfect for all types of service and maintenance department employees

Training Methodology

Our training is designed with practical, real-world facility and industrial applications in mind. It is unbiased, unaffiliated and non-commercial so you are assured of a real education and not a product sales pitch. It focuses less on theory and more on the actual steps students need to properly maintain equipment or fix specific problems at their own plant or facility. Our instructors will simplify the subject matter for the novice or go in-depth to answer an engineer’s toughest question. We have thousands of hours of experience of live classroom training using these methods, and it is why our students keep coming back.
