Applies the basic principles of control circuits to an intermediate study of DC motors, AC motors, and servo motors. Performs armature reaction, CEMF, and basic motor calculations. Analyzes motor control including starting requirements, forward/reverse control, and sequencing of motors. Emphasizes the extension of motor control to drive systems including SCR armature control, field weakening, Pulse Width Modulation, and Variable Frequency Drives. Explains principles of drive operation, set-up, calibration, and troubleshooting in lecture and applies in laboratory exercises. Credit may be earned in SKET 140 or ET 140 but not both.
