Want to know all there is to know about AC controllers? Designed for engineers who work with the latest generation of electric machines, this 2-day course gives you the knowledge you need to perform efficient and accurate diagnostics. To get the most out of it, you should already be familiar with how electrical devices function, have some prior knowledge about electric quantities and measurements, and know how to work with an oscilloscope. In both theoretical and practical lessons, you’ll learn the operating principles of AC controllers, how to make a targeted diagnosis for faults with common AC drive and pump controllers, and gain insight into how AC motors function and are controlled.

TARGET GROUP

Electrical engineers who come into contact with the new generation of electric machines and have to perform diagnostics on these.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

Some insight in the functioning of electrical devices and familiarity with the electric quantities, measurements and fundamental knowledge of electronics and an oscilloscope.

GOAL

  • To understand the operating principles of AC controllers is the first step towards an oriented diagnosis.
  • To make an oriented diagnosis on common AC drive and pump controllers.
  • To gain an insight in the functioning and controlling of DC motors. How to make an oriented diagnosis of the controller depends on the controller that drives these motors.
  • To gain an insight in the functioning and controlling of AC motors.
  • To be able to make an oriented diagnosis via measurements of the controllers of these motors.
  • To be able to perform a quick check of the power stage (functioning of the FETs/transistors/IGBTs).
