Understanding Electrical Diagrams and Control Circuits

All maintenance personnel must know how to read and write ladder diagrams - it's essential. Plus, it's a prerequisite to using PLCs.

This program explains the fundamentals of simple control circuits and moves on to cover more complex circuits. Use this program to learn the basics, then go on to the next DVD (Preventive Maintenance and Troubleshooting Control Circuits) to learn how to troubleshoot. Both of these programs are our most popular companion programs!

• Protect your people—follow our four basic rules of ladder diagrams to implement a safe circuit.
• Add interlocking, memory, and cross-referencing to complex control circuits.
• Layout a control panel from scratch to finish by following the wiring and layout diagrams.
• Implement motor control and magnetic starter circuit diagrams.
• Prevent faulty operations and equipment damage—use mechanical, push buttons, and electrical interlocks.
