• Course starts with basic motor problems and how to identify them and the underlying cause.  Motor control circuits are covered next with emphasis on safety and proper test procedures.  Variable spee drives (VFD's) can be added if needed.

Student needs to have a good understanding of AC/DC, motors, schematic drawings and solid-state (if VFD's are included).  Any of those subjects can be incorporated into the course.  Extensive hands-on labs are included in this course. Class length depends on need and student knowledge; previous experience is a big plus.
