Electric Motor Control Learning System – 85-MT5

Request Information

The model 85-MT5 Electric Motor Control Learning System teaches electric relay control of AC electric motors found in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Students learn industry-relevant skills including how to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot AC electric motor control circuits for various applications.

The model 85-MT5 includes a bench top-mount workstation, AC induction motor, motor mounting frame, control component panels, multi-meter, lead set, student learning materials for both theory and lab, and teacher’s guide. This system uses industrial quality components to help students become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job.

The workstation’s welded steel construction provides a sturdy work surface for mounting control components. Components are mounted directly on individual panels. The modular panels easily slide into the workstation and lock in place, allowing students to quickly set up a variety of circuit applications. Safety is emphasized throughout the student learning materials and in the hardware design. Safety devices include a lockout/tagout system and grounded connections for individual components in the system. Students use these safety devices each time they set up a circuit.

The circuits students set up on 85-MT5 System can be faulted to enable students to learn how to troubleshoot motor control circuits under realistic conditions. Circuit faults can be introduced using either the manual fault insertion, supplied as a standard, or the optional 890-FTS-1 Computer-Based Fault Insertion System. The computer-based fault insertion system provides the advantage of allowing the students to learn troubleshooting on an individual basis without the instructor standing by to insert faults and explain the process.

A number of motor control component options are also available to extend the learning capabilities of the 85-MT5 Motor Control Learning System. These components are mounted to modular panels that slide into the workstation or mount to the motor mounting frame.
