COURSE 570
1 DAY
DC DRIVES
Electronic DC drives are still widely used in the textile and paper industries. This comprehensive course is designed to enable maintenance engineers to correctly set up, maintain and carry out effective fault finding / trouble shooting on DC drive systems. Unlike some product specific courses, this course is substantially generic effectively covering most of the DC drive systems found in industry today and providing a thorough understanding of drive operation within the context of industrial systems.
PARTICIPANTS
Suitable for anyone who is required to maintain or configure inverter drives (electricians, instrument technicians, etc.) Whilst a knowledge of basic electrical principles is desirable, no prior knowledge of motor theory or electronics is necessary.
COURSE PRESENTATION
The practicalities of configuring, fault finding and maintenance are demonstrated and then practised by participants on purpose built training rigs allowing considerable experience to be gained on a representative range of proprietary DC drive systems. The course is supported by detailed documentation that is provided to all participants.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
On completion of the course, participants will be able to
- apply safe working practices when working with DC drives
- demonstrate an understanding of the principles of operation of a range of DC drive systems
- correctly configure, operate and monitor DC drive systems
- identify and correct configuration errors
- differentiate between drive faults, motor faults and power faults
- differentiate between control / power circuit drive faults
- appreciate the concepts of Fieldbus communications and SCADA systems.
Successful completion of the course leads to the award of the Amicus / Technical Training Solutions Competence Certificate 570: DC motor drives.
