Amatrol's alternator/synchronous motor eLearning course covers important topics, such as:
Alternators
Learners begin with an introduction to alternators, including alternator output voltage and frequency. Individual lessons focus on topics like how multi-phase AC power is produced, how to control the output voltage of an alternator, and how to calculate the output frequency of an alternator. Learners will also practice skills, such as connecting and operating a rotating armature type alternator, controlling the output voltage of an alternator, and calculating the output frequency of an alternator.
Alternator Synchronization Methods
Learners will study various alternator synchronization methods. Individual lessons focus on topics like synchronism and synchroscopes. Learners will also practice skills, such as synchronizing an alternator to the line using the three dark method and synchronizing an alternator to the line using a synchroscope.
Synchronous Motors
Learners using Amatrol’s alternator / synchronous motor eLearning course will study basic principles of synchronous motors, including power factor correction. Individual lessons focus on topics like torque angle, how to correct power factor, and how to reverse a synchronous motor. Learners will also practice skills, such as connecting and operating a synchronous motor, operating a synchronous motor with lagging, unity, and leading power factor, and reversing the rotation direction of a synchronous motor.
