This course will bring you the fundamentals on induction electric motors specification and operation. This is ideal to the beginners on this field that would like access to a clear, concise and focused information on electric motors. On that you will learn how electric motors operate, how to specify motors for the application, what are the components of a motors and what are the methods to operate those motors.
I have extensive experience with inductions motors from specification to installation and troubleshooting. As a service engineer, I`ve been working with induction motors for more than 13years now. Therefore I have a very practical approach to the subject on this course. With this practical approach my intent is that you can absorb that information in a simplistic way, so the fundamentals are solid. With this training you would then be able to understand and participate on professional discussion on induction motors as well as use it as a ground training for your staff.
This is a basic level (entry level) training which will be fast paced aiming the maximum learning curve for your time. I have plans to develop more advance training in the future depending on the demand I get from this course.
I am presently working on a commercial role liaising directly with customers around the globe, focused on low voltage automation products. As part of my background, I have extensive experience on after sales support supplying solution for installation and maintenance of large motors, generators and drives. Fluent in English and Portuguese with a multicultural background. I have been expatriated to Australia for about 7 years and am presently working in Brazil - Santa Catarina.
