Announcements
This is the first lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson identifies the components of an AC motor and explains their
functions. Basic magnetic principles, sine waves, methods of increasing
magnetic flux in a conductor, and how a rotating field is created in an
AC Motor are presented.

Introduction to AC Components and Motors
The second lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library, this lesson
explains synchronous speed and how to calculate it. The lesson
demonstrates the relationship between phased current and rotor spin and
induction and its effect on a rotor. Slip and how to calculate slip
using its formula are also covered.
-
This is the third lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson defines and explains the components and functions of various
three-phase motors. The lesson also defines torque and explains its role
in motor operation.
-
This is the fourth lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson defines and explains the components and functions of externally
excited motors, starters, and variable speed drives. There is also a
review topic to reinforce the information covered in the lesson,
Three-Phase Motors – Part 1.
-
This is the fifth lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This lesson trains the participants to distinguish single-phase motors from three-phase motors. Split-phase motors and capacitance start motors are discussed.
-
This is the sixth lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson introduces the learner to DC Motors and their basic components.
-
This is the seventh lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. The lesson introduces participants to DC motor theory.
-
The eighth lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library, this lesson
demonstrates armature reaction, compensation, and induced voltage.
-
This is the ninth lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson instructs the participant in the design of series wound, shunt
wound, and compound DC motors and how they work.
-
This is the tenth lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson instructs the student in the design of permanent magnet,
universal, and brushless DC motors and how they work.
-
This is the final lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson trains participants in starters, rotation direction, speed
control, and drive controls of DC motors.
