This course is a study of the construction, operating characteristics, and installation of
different motor control circuits and devices. Emphasis is placed on the control of three phase AC motors.
This course covers the use of motor control symbols, magnetic motor starters, running overload protection,
pushbutton stations, multiple control stations, two wire control, three wire control, jogging control,
sequence control, and ladder diagrams of motor control circuits. Upon completion, students should be able to
understand the operation of motor starters, overload protection, interpret ladder diagrams using pushbutton
stations and understand complex motor control diagrams. Also taught as AUT 234, ELT 209.
