Industrial Electronics Courses

Lab #1

Connect a manual motor starter to control a pilot light. 24 volt circuit only

Lab #2

Connect a pushbutton to perform a jog function controlling a 24 volt control relay. Use a set of control relay contacts to energize a 24 volt pilot light.

Lab #3

Connect a 3 wire control circuit (memory) using a stop and start pushbutton, memory contacts and a 24 volt control relay. Use one set of the cr contacts for memory, use a second set of NO contacts to light a 24 volt pilot light.

Lab #4

Connect a circuit using a selector switch to provide "2 wire control" of a 24 volt control relay. Use a set of the CR contacts to control a 24 volt light for the load of this circuit.

Lab #5

Connect a circuit using a stop pushbutton and a start pushbutton and memory contacts to provide a "3 wire control" of a 24 volt control relay. Add a selector switch which can be used as a "run-jog" selector switch so that when it is in the jog position, the start pushbutton will provide the jog function of this relay. Use the control relay contacts to light a 24 volt light as the load for this circuit.

Lab #6

Connect a circuit using a selector switch to provide "2 wire control" of a 24 volt Magnetic Motor Starter. The magnetic motor starter has a set of contacts that have been pre-wired to control a 120 volt motor, so you will not need to connect the power circuit, that has been done for you.

Lab #7

Connect a circuit using a stop pushbutton and a start pushbutton and memory contacts to provide a "3 wire control" of a 24 volt magnetic starter. The magnetic motor starter has a set of contacts that have been pre-wired to control a 120 volt motor, so you will not need to connect the power circuit, that has been done for you.

Lab #8

Connect a circuit using a 3 position selector switch (which might be referred to as a Hand-Off-Automatic switch, HOA) to select a pushbutton as the manual control or an automatic temperature switch (which will be represented by a 2 position selector switch) to provide the control of a 24 volt magnetic starter. The magnetic motor starter has a set of contacts that have been pre-wired to control a 120 volt motor, so you will not need to connect the power circuit, that has been done for you.

Lab #9

Connect a circuit using a 3 position selector switch (which might be referred to as a Hand-Off-Automatic switch, HOA) to select a start and stop pushbutton with memory as the manual control or an automatic control using a series combination of 1 temperature switch and 1 pressure switch (which will each be represented by 2 position selector switches) to provide the control of a 24 volt magnetic starter. The magnetic motor starter has a set of contacts that have been pre-wired to control a 120 volt motor, so you will not need to connect the power circuit, that has been done for you.

Lab #10

Connect the circuit from worksheet 7-1, circuit #2 on page 59 of the Motor Control workbook to provide the control of two 24 volt magnetic starters. Each magnetic motor starter has a set of contacts that have been pre-wired to control a 120 volt motor, so you will not need to connect the power circuit, that has been done for you. Use pushbuttons 1, 2, 3, and 4. Do not add the foot switch and fifth pushbutton options.

Lab #11

Connect the circuit from worksheet 7-4 on page 62 of the Motor Control workbook to provide the control of a 24 volt magnetic starter. The magnetic motor starter has a set of contacts that have been pre-wired to control a 120 volt single phase motor (not a 3 phase motor as in the worksheet drawing), so you will not need to connect the power circuit, that has been done for you. Use 3 red pushbuttons for the stops and 3 green pushbuttons for the starts.

Lab #12

Connect the circuit from worksheet 7-6 on page 64 of the Motor Control workbook to provide the control of a 24 volt magnetic starter. The magnetic motor starter has a set of contacts that have been pre-wired to control a 120 volt single phase motor (not a 3 phase motor as in the worksheet drawing), so you will not need to connect the power circuit, that has been done for you.

Lab #13

Connect the circuit from figure 8-17 on page 155 of the textbook for an on-delay timer. Use 24 volts for the timer control circuit as well as 24 volts to a pilot light for the load of this circuit. Use a 2 position selector switch to control the timer circuit. This is a supply voltage controlled timer.

Lab #14

Connect all 4 of the circuits from worksheet 8-7 on page 80 of the workbook. Use 24 volts for the timer control circuits as well as 24 volts to the pilot light for the loads. This is a supply voltage controlled timer.

Lab #15

Connect the off delay timer circuit so that it will operate the same as the circuit from worksheet 8-3 on page 75 of the workbook. Modify the circuit so that you can use a contact-controlled off delay timer. Use 24 volts for the timer control circuits as well as 24 volts to the magnetic starter coils. The starter power circuits are pre-wired to 120 volt single phase motors.

Lab #16

Using the circuit from worksheet 8-2 on page 74 of the workbook, connect a circuit for the sequential control of 2 motors. Use 3 wire control on the first motor and a time delay timer to start the second motor. Use 24 volts for the timer control circuits as well as 24 volts to the magnetic starter coils. The starter power circuits are pre-wired to 120 volt single phase motors.

Lab #17

Using the circuit from figure 9-17 on page 179 of the text, connect a circuit using a selector switch to reverse a single phase motor, using a reversing starter. Use a 3 position selector switch in place of the foot switch. Use 24 volts for the control circuit to the reversing magnetic starter. The starter power circuit is pre-wired to a 120 volt single phase motor. Include the truth table for the switch in your drawing.

Lab #18

Using the circuit from figure 10-29 on page 235 of the text, connect a circuit using a reversing starter. Use 24 volts for the control circuit to the reversing magnetic starter. The starter power circuit is pre-wired to a 120 volt single phase motor.

Lab #19

Using the circuit from figure 10-39 on page 235 of the text, connect a circuit using a reversing starter. Use 24 volts for the control circuit to the reversing magnetic starter. The starter power circuit is pre-wired to a 120 volt single phase motor.

Lab #20

Using the circuit from worksheet 9-7 of the workbook on page 90, design and connect a circuit using a standard magnetic motor starter to simulate a sump pump control circuit. Use 3 probes in a bucket of water to develop the appropriate 3 wire control circuit. Use 24 volts for the control circuit to the magnetic starter. The starter power circuit is pre-wired to a 120 volt single phase motor.
