Resources required
- Learning Outcomes
- 1. Explain the operation and use of capacitance and inductance as it relates to single phase motors.
2. Explain the construction and operation of single-phase transformers.
3. Install and run single-phase AC induction motors.
4. Document and describe isolation and recommissioning procedures for electrical machinery fittings and equipment. - Content
- Topics include but are not limited to:
- The effect of inductance and capacitance in an AC circuit.
- Construction, operation, safe handling and legislative requirements for capacitors.
- Power factor and power factor correction requirements associated with AC motors.
- Construction, operation and applications of common single-phase transformers.
- DOL motor starting.
- Components, construction and operation of various single-phase induction motors. - Assessment Criteria
- Theory and practical assessments are selected from range of methods described in the programme document. Assessment methods may vary from provider to provider to accommodate regional requirements. Students will be advised of all matters relating to summative assessment at the start of the course.
This course is assessed using competency-based assessment. Students must successfully complete all summative assessments in order to pass and receive credit for this course. - Teaching and Learning Strategy
- The programme uses a range of teaching and learning methods as described in the Programme Document. Learning and teaching activities employed in this course may vary slightly, from provider to provider and cohort to cohort, to accommodate varying cohort numbers, localised resources and requirements.
All courses contain a combination of learning activities aimed at providing a mix of practical-based or applied activity as well as the presentation of theoretical knowledge. - Learning and Teaching Resource
- Resources used for this course will be determined by each provider and will include a minimum of:
- Learning Management System (LMS), including access to:
- Course information;
- Course notes prepared by tutors;
- Online learning resources;
- Library resources.
- Physical resources including Labs/Workshops and Classrooms.
