Troubleshooting an Unstable Press Motor
By Excelsior College
In this simulation activity, an electrician will troubleshoot an AC motor that quit running and cannot be restarted. Before accessing blueprints and then using a multimeter to find the fault, the learner will follow safety protocols by following lock-out tag-out procedures and then suit up with appropriate (PPE) personal protection equipment.
Motor and Pump Alignment
In this simulation activity, procedures are performed to properly align the shaft of an electric motor that replaced a defective motor, with the shaft coupling of a pump to which it is attached.
Using Blueprints to Troubleshoot a Defective Water Pump
In this simulation activity, an electrician troubleshoots a defective water pump that will not start. To find the problem, the learner selects the appropriate blueprints that must be referred to while performing the troubleshooting steps. Then safety protocols will be followed, such as making lockout-tag out installations and donning PPE items before taking measurements with a multimeter to locate the faulty component.
Electrical PPE Mini Sim
This activity is a simulation that allows the learner to practice personal protective equipment tasks.
Three Phase Wye Transformer Calculations
By James Bourassa
In this interactive object, learners follow steps to find phase voltages in a partial three-phase power distribution circuit.
Three-Phase Delta Transformer Calculations
Using a memory shortcut for calculations, the learner determines line and phase values of current in a three-phase AC configuration. Practice problems complete the activity.
The 7493 IC Binary Counter (Screencast)
By Terry Bartelt
In this screencast, learners examine the construction of a 7493 IC as mod-2 and mod-8 up-counters. They view how this binary counter can be modified to operate at different modulus counts.
