AC Motor Controls and Troubleshooting

"I've had the opportunity to evaluate many training materials and I've found these industrial Video programs to be the best I've seen." - Bob Desoto, continuing Education Professor, University of California-Fullerton

You need to know the basics when it comes to AC motor controls and this program explains just that. More importantly, it shows you how to quickly identify the root cause of a problem in an AC motor.

We show you how to check the windings for open conditions, isolate a problem to either the circuit or the motor, and much more. We even cover the telltale symptoms of premature motor failure.

Need the same information about DC motors? Our DVD 9 that covers DC motor controls and troubleshooting.
