Description
This seminar is for electricians (or maintenance personnel) who work with electrical/electronic
drawings and circuits. Circuit requirements, logic and applications are covered.
Includes converting standard ladder (line) diagrams into PLC diagrams. Troubleshooting
using prints and circuit modifications is also covered.
You will learn
- How to read and understand architectural drawings, ladder diagrams, wiring diagrams
and other types of electrical diagrams.
- How to draw and understand electrical symbols and abbreviations.
- How to connect and troubleshoot circuits that include 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, motion
sensing and other types of switches.
- How to connect and troubleshoot circuits that include lamps and receptacles.
- How to connect and troubleshoot the control and power circuit of basic single-phase
and three-phase motor circuits.
- How to convert standard line diagrams into PLC diagrams.
