Amatrol’s Electric Motor Troubleshooting Learning System (85-MT2E), used in conjunction with the required Basic Electrical Machines Learning System (85-MT2), covers AC and DC motors troubleshooting and testing using a multimeter and a megger meter. The skills and knowledge covered by this system will prove invaluable for industrial maintenance technicians or anyone working in a field that uses AC and/or DC motors. This system covers major topics like AC and DC motor failures, common methods of diagnosing these failures by using a multimeter and megger meter, and troubleshooting these failures.

The 85-MT2E includes a motor connection box to practice hands-on skills, such as troubleshooting faults in a DC motor and AC single-phase and three-phase motors, evaluating DC electric motor commutator and brush health, and using a multimeter to test an AC motor start/run capacitor. Amatrol’s industrial training systems feature real-world, industry-grade components for durability that will stand up to frequent use and to allow learners to gain real-world competencies.

Amatrol’s Electric Motor Control Learning System (85-MT5) teaches electric relay control of AC electric motors found in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Learners study industry-relevant skills including how to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot AC electric motor control circuits for various applications.

The 85-MT5 includes a bench top-mount control workstation, motor workstation, AC induction motor, control component panels, multimeter, lead set, and student curriculum that is unmatched within the industry. This system uses industrial-quality components to train learners to become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job. Some of the major components that learners will work with include a control transformer, reversing contactors, manual motor starter, multi-function timer, and control relays.

The 85-MT5 teaches learners how to troubleshoot motor control circuits under realistic conditions. Circuit faults can be introduced using either the included manual fault insertion system or through the optional Fault Troubleshooting System (890-FTS1), which includes Amatrol’s FaultPro, the industry’s only electronic-fault insertion software.

Amatrol’s Reduced Voltage Starting Learning System (85-MT5B) adds to the Electric Motor Control Learning System (85-MT5) to teach methods of starting electric motors under reduced voltage, 3-phase power distribution using Delta and Wye transformer wiring configurations, and troubleshooting. Reduced voltage starting is ideal for applications where full motor torque could tear or damage a product, such as paper or delicate fabric. Learners will study Wye-Delta power distribution, types of voltage circuits, and the operation of an autotransformer reduced voltage starter.

Reduced voltage starting includes a Dual Transformer Station, featuring two control transformers, and a Power Resistor Station, featuring three 25-ohm, 100-watt resistors. This industrial motor control training system uses industrial-quality components that stand up to frequent use and enables learners to practice with real-world components that they will encounter on the job.

Amatrol’s Electronic Sensors Learning System (85-MT5D) adds to the Electric Motor Control Learning System (85-MT5) to teach the function and applications of a variety of electronic sensors in industries like automotive, packaging, and security. This electronic sensor training system is comprised of heavy-duty, real-world industrial components such as capacitive, inductive, and infrared sensors that are built to stand up to heavy use.

Learners can connect and operate these electronic sensors, study their design, and analyze their performance in order to build skills that can be applied to real-world job opportunities. Amatrol reinforces this skill-building practice with strong curriculum that thoroughly explains electronic sensor topics, such as factors that affect a sensor’s performance. This combination of hands-on skills and strong theoretical knowledge gives learners the ability to not only understand where to use a sensor in a circuit, but why it’s there and what its function is.
