DESCRIPTION
Features & Benefits
- Fully introduces students to all the important concepts of both variable-frequency drives and three-phase induction motors.
- Comprises a modern Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 525 drive designed for the control of industrial motors.
- The variable-frequency drive, the induction motor, and all the electrical and control components are easy to access and safe for student experimentation.
- Powered using a standard single-phase ac outlet. Control components operate at a low voltage for student safety.
- Includes six built-in faults that can be inserted using toggle switches, enabling students to test and improve their troubleshooting skills.
- Training system enclosed in a rugged case fitted with sturdy wheels and a telescopic handle for easy transportation. The case also allows training systems to be conveniently stacked for storage.
- Comprises student and instructor manuals that provide comprehensive theory presentations, guided easy-to-understand lab procedures, and review questions.
- Complete, cost-efficient learning package
- Estimated program duration: 20 hours
