Motor Control Demonstrator. A Project Study (eBook)

Project Report from the year 2010 in the subject Electrotechnology, , language: English, abstract: The study was planned and developed to address the inadequacy of instructional materials in the performance of laboratory classes. The study aimed to test its functionality as well as evaluate its performance, as it would eventually be utilized as an educational demonstrator, specifically in the discipline of Electrical Technology. This motor control trainer allows students to conduct numerous motor controllers, and it includes an actual conveyor and incandescent lights as load demonstrators. This simulates the real motor controllers used in most industries. Industries would cease to exist if control systems were not adequately developed, coordinated, installed, and maintained.

The elements of the electrical system that starts, stops, and reverses motors that drive various mechanical equipment is known as motor controllers. This project may run a variety of motor controllers, including start-stop magnetic starters, multiple-push button magnetic starters, star-jog-stop magnetic starters, forward-reverse magnetic starters, manual sequential controller, automatic sequential controller, wye-delta magnetic starters, and the part-winding starting method.

As a result, the project benefits numerous stakeholders in academe and, indirectly, the labor market. The findings revealed a general weighted average of 4.83, a descriptive rating interpreted as highly functional, according to the evaluation results. Based on the findings, it is recommended that this be utilized as an instructional device and that creating a demonstrator is certainly doable; thus, comparable projects with greater capabilities should be produced. Basically, the Motor Control Demonstrator was developed and constructed in response to a perceived lack of training facilities/equipment.
