AIT 205 - Programable Electronics and Variable Frequency Drives
Credits: 3
Lecture: 2
Lab: 3
Introductory course in AC and DC power electronic theory. Includes power supplies, power conditioning, solid-state power devices, and power control circuits. Also includes proximity sensors, analog thermal sensors, control feedback loops, and the setup and operation of VFDs.
Course Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
- evaluate discrete electronic components such as diodes, bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors (FETs), silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs);
- install discrete electronic components such as diodes, bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors (FETs), silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs);
- test the operation of discrete electronic components such as diodes, bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors (FETs), silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs);
- install solid-state alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) relays;
- test solid-state AC and DC relays;
- install discrete and analog sensors;
- adjust discrete and analog sensors;
- test discrete and analog sensors;
- install a VFD motor drive system;
- operate a VFD motor drive system.
