This award-winning electrical plant maintenance training program builds on the Troubleshooting Electrical Control Circuits  program. Here, you will troubleshoot 3 motor control circuits like the reversing motor controlled garage door. This circuit contains such components as limit switches, three phase reversing motor starter, push buttons, step down transformer, and safety switch. Elementary wiring schematic and connection wiring diagrams will be used as an electrical troubleshooting guide while you troubleshoot 50+ faults of varying difficulty. The program contains sections to describe how the electrical motor control circuit works as well as how to use the troubleshooting tools. The program evaluates the time and money spent to solve the fault and records all the steps performed to solve the fault. This can be used for later analysis of your troubleshooting approach and makes this software a great choice for your school's electrical program or maintenance technician training in general.

• Safely learn to troubleshoot Motor Control Circuits
• Highly realistic electrical circuit simulator of a reversing motor control circuit
• Practical hands-on approach with 50+ faults to solve
• Use an Personal's experience as an electrical troubleshooting guide to improve your approach
• Assess your electrical troubleshooting Skill
• Review your progress and approach with a built in reporting system
• Highly realistic simulation - The simulation behaves as the real motor control circuit would. You can remove wires, operate any controls, and the circuit will behave appropriately. This is a true simulation!
• Realistic Tools. While using Troubleshooting - Motor Control Circuits you are able to perform virtually every operation used on real equipment including:
  • operating the circuit
  • locking out the circuit
  • taking voltage and resistance readings
  • opening connections
  • replacing components and wiring
  • using the observe feature you can even check for visual or other clues to the cause of the fault
• A fully simulated dock door motor circuit is available to practice your troubleshooting skills.
• Schematics and wiring diagrams can be viewed on screen or printed out to help you understand the circuit and eventually track down problem areas to solve faults.
• An electrical troubleshooting guide section is included to guide you through the troubleshooting process using three sample faults.
• Fifty plus faults to solve with three levels of difficulty.
• Tips when you are really stuck!
• The program evaluates your performance - time and dollars spent to repair the fault are tracked and you must meet the set criteria for the fault or try it again.
• An automatic reporting system is also included which generates a progress report including every step made while trouble-shooting the fault.
• Thorough instructions and tips on using the program allowing it to be used as a totally self-taught, self-paced program or as part of a troubleshooting course.
• Administration tools and program guides are available for Instructors with Enterprise Editions.

Who Can Benefit

Both college students and apprentices alike find these maintenance technician training programs increase both their skills and confidence when troubleshooting electrical motor control circuits. Seasoned electrical and maintenance personnel also benefit by refining their reasoning process and increasing the effectiveness of their troubleshooting skills, resulting in reduced downtime of equipment.
