Amatrol’s electric motor troubleshooting eLearning course covers important topics, such as:

Troubleshooting DC Motor Failures

Learners begin with an introduction to DC electric motor troubleshooting, including motor failures, DC electric motor armature testing, testing DC motor field winding failures, and troubleshooting DC motors. Individual lessons focus on topics like common types of DC electric motor failures, how to use a megger to test a DC electric motor armature, how to use a multimeter to test DC motor field windings, and how to troubleshoot a DC motor using a troubleshooting chart. Learners will also practice skills, such as performing a diagnosis of a DC electric motor, evaluating DC electric motor commutator and brush health, mastering use of a megger and a multimeter, and troubleshooting faults in a DC motor.

Troubleshooting AC Motor Failures

In this module, learners will be introduced to AC electric motor troubleshooting, including motor failures, testing single-phase AC motors, testing three-phase AC motors, and troubleshooting AC motors. Individual lessons focus on topics like common types of AC electric motor failurs, how to use a multimeter to test a single-phase AC electric motor, how to use a megger to test a three-phase AC motor stator windings, and how to troubleshoot faults in a single- and three-phase AC motor. Learners will also practice skills, such as performing a mechanical diagnosis of an AC electric motor, using a multimeter to test an AC motor’s start/run capacitor, using a megger to test three-phase AC motor stator windings, and troubleshooting faults in a single- and three-phase AC motor.
