Course Outcome

3 Modules

The complete course consists of 3 video modules and 2 PDF manuals which include self-assessment

Module 1 – Single Phase Capacitor Motor

This module explains the following motors:

• Capacitor Start Induction Motors
• Capacitor Run Induction Motors
• Capacitor Start / Run Induction Motors

Module 2 – Three Phase Motors

This module explains the following motors:

• Squirrel Cage Induction Motor
• Slip-ring Motor

At the end of this module learners will be able to:

• Name the main parts and functions
• Describe the basic operating procedures
• Perform basic electrical tests i.e.
  – Continuity and insulation tests of windings
  – Continuity and insulation tests between windings and earth
  – Checks made to brush gear
• Perform basic mechanical checks

Module 3 – Overview of DC Motors & Generators

At the end of this module learners will be able to:

• Name the main parts and functions (armature, frame/stator, brush gear)
• Describe the basic operating principles of the DC Motor & DC Generator
• Explain motor classification (series-wound, shunt-wound, compound motors)
• Perform basic electrical tests i.e.
  – Continuity tests including terminal (winding) identification
  – Insulation tests between series and shunt windings
  – Testing armature circuit (armature, inter-poles and brush gear)
• Perform basic mechanical checks
