AC electric motors are found in a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Industrial maintenance technicians must develop industry-relevant skills, such as how to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot AC electric motor control circuits for various applications.

DAC Worldwide’s Split-Phase Capacitor Start AC Motor Training System (410-000) features a common split phase, capacitor start AC motor used frequently throughout industry. Each motor module includes a welded aluminum mounting baseplate, aluminum control box support structure, and a steel control enclosure.

All motor wiring is accomplished through banana jack receptacles on the control enclosure’s front panel face. Each unit comes equipped with an appropriate voltmeter and ammeter. In addition, four instructor fault insertion switches are provided on each motor module.

The Split-Phase Capacitor Start AC Motor Training System requires the following items:

• #410-001E Economy Portable Multimeter
• #410-002 Non-Contact Tachometer Kit
• #410-100 Prony Brake Assembly

Industry-Standard Components Provide Realistic, Hands-On Training

Technical training is most effective when learners can gain hands-on practice with industry-standard components they’ll encounter on the job. The Split-Phase Capacitor Start AC Motor Training System features a wide variety of common, industrial-quality components to provide learners with a realistic training experience that will build skills that translate easily to the workplace.

The Split-Phase Capacitor Start AC Motor Training System is a sturdy unit that features industrial-quality components, such as: AC motor mounted on T-slotted rails; master circuit breaker with lock-out/tag-out capability; color-coded banana jack patch cord receptacles; voltmeter; ammeter; enclosure cover safety interlock switch; 4 instructor fault insertion switches; large emergency stop switch; large pilot light; and keyed instructor power switch.
