3-Phase Control Systems Trainer

The 3-Phase Control Systems Trainer (325-17) is designed to introduce students to the principles of AC power, three-phase AC circuits, and AC motors, including synchronous machines, through a wide range of practical activities.

All on-board voltages are kept to a level that ensures the trainer can be used in a completely safe environment. The Motor can be configured to operate as both a single phase and a 3-phase AC Motor system to allow students to demonstrate the difference.

Digital lessons accompany the 3-Phase Control Systems Trainer and can be used to cover the topics of 3-phase distribution and operation of AC motors.

Topics Include:

• AC Motor Principles & 3-Phase Synchronous Motor
• Single-Phase Synchronous Motor
• The 3-Phase Supply
• AC Inverters
• 6-Wire, 3-Wire and 4-Wire Connections
• Delta and Wye Combination Connections
• Power Factor Correction
• Other AC Motors
