DAC Worldwide’s DC Permanent Magnet Motor Control Training System (426-000) is a motor control-related device for training in the operational principles, wiring, fault troubleshooting, and application of industrial three-phase, reversing magnetic starters. The device is self-contained, allowing for individual study by a single student or a small student group. While often used independently, the training aid can be integrated with other products relating to PLCs, pilot devices, and motor-driven mechanical systems.
A key training element within a series of related motor control-focused products, this device is often used independently due to its concentration on the most common motor starter configurations seen in industry and its on-board selection of common piloting components.
The training aid includes a welded aluminum base assembly, steel support structure and enclosure, aluminum motor mounting rails, and an industrial-duty, three-phase, squirrel-cage motor.
All wiring is accomplished through shielded banana-jack connections on the front panel face, rather than directly to individual components. Multiple safety systems are provided. Four instructor fault switches, creating common component faults, are provided. Supplemental components such as a motor loading device and a piloting switch module can be added to expand the system’s capabilities in developing complex control circuits.
