STOBER engineers complete motors and controls training

Engineers at STOBER completed a deep-dive motors and controls training this week that included hands-on learning experiences at the historic Cox Building in downtown Maysville. A third-party vendor, Festo Didactic, delivered the instruction and Babz Bistro provided exceptional meals.

The training covered the following topics:

• Explain basic principles of magnetism and electromagnetism
• Differentiate between a DC and an AC motor
• Understand how a DC, AC and 3 phase motor work
• Know the basic parts of a motor
• Interpret the technical information shown in the motor plate
• Identify different types of relays
• Interpret electrical schematic diagrams (NEMA and IEC)
• Connect a motor control circuit using relay logic
