Electric Motor Controls & Power System Design for Industrial Facilities
Course Description
The intention of this course is to show how many types of motors are turned on and off. A number of different AC motors are looked at, and ways to start and stop them are addressed. Reversing techniques are also addressed. Then various Electronic techniques for controlling motors are addressed. Both Alternating Current motors and Direct Current motors are covered. All in all, this is a very nice coverage of a subject that is often overlooked in our educational systems.
Target Groups
This course was designed for electrical technicians, electrical engineers as well as engineers of other disciplines. Electrical engineers will have a deeper understanding of how motors are controlled. Engineers from other disciplines will get an idea of the problems faced by the people responsible for making their facilities and plants run properly. This will help engineers understand each other’s special problems. The more that we as engineers understand the problems faced by other engineers, the better that we will be able to do our specific jobs.
There is very little math involved in doing this course. It is mainly an explanation of how various kinds of starters and speed controls work. Many schematic drawings are included to help engineers understand how the devices that are covered work.
It would be almost impossible to cover all of the various motion control devices out here in the industrial world. I have attempted to give a good overview of the most common devices that I have been exposed to in 25 years of industrial experience.
Electrical Power System Design for Industrial Facilities
There is no formula for designing the electric power system for an industrial system that absolutely guarantees that the result will be successful.
This course presents the approach that the ideal way to design an industrial power system is to first define a set of quantifiable parameters that can be either calculated during the design process, or measured on the physical system after it has been constructed. Then, the process of addressing the physics behind each of those parameters forces the power engineer to achieve the desired performance which leads the engineer to make appropriate design decisions.
The four critical dimensions of performance, and hence the four areas that must be addressed in the design process are:
Reliability Steady-state performance in response to dynamic conditions Protection

State Board Acceptance
This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept online courses that cover technical, managerial or ethical content and which are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice.
