Wiring of Motors - Training Course
Course Aim
This Course - in the format of a Workshop - is a 1-Day Cross-Skilling Course delivered on client’s premises only..
It has been designed to train fitters* in both the theoretical and practical aspects on how to safely and competently remove and install electric motors.
The workshop will be delivered through tutorials, practical hands-on experience with motors and interactive discussion (client to set up the two motor test rigs as they need to operate at 380V 3 phase).
Learning Objectives
To enable participants to safely and effectively remove and replace 3-Phase electric motors, single speed, direct-on-line, including disconnection, connection and checking for correct rotation.
Course Outline
- Review of Safety Control Systems
- including Permit-to-Work and Lock-out-Tag-out systems in operation in the Company.
- Principles of Electricity including
- Single-phase and three-phase
- DC / AC power systems
- Distribution diagrams and earthing
- Direct-on-Line (DOL) operation and control
- Starting Speed
- Torque and Amps
- Change of direction
- Bearings
- Lubrication and vibration
- Motor mounting B3, B5 etc.
- Protection, cooling and fusing
- Wiring, cables and installation
- Tools and meters.
Theory
- To demonstrate to participants safe and effective methods to both disconnect and re-connect a motor. 2 No. 380Volt test rigs will be required with a contactor and overload start arrangement and motor leads to terminals where various final connection cables (eg, SWA, SILFLEX, OLFLEX) are to be terminated to the motor.
- Participants are to then practice the safe and effective way of motor connection and test-running, including reversal of rotation.
