This three day course demonstrates two methods of controlling DC motor speed using solid-state devices. They are Switching Amplifier Field Current Controller and SCR Armature Voltage Controller. The course will also cover two methods of stopping DC motors, dynamic braking and plugging.
Prerequisites:
Basic Math Skills. Either attend our Basic Electronics class first, or have a thorough understanding of transformers, inductive reactance, capacitive reactance, and solid state devices: diodes, transistors, IC operational amplifiers, SCR's, DIAC's, and TR
