Motors & Variable Speed Drives
How three-phase induction motors work, how to read a nameplate, starting methods, what a variable speed drive does, and how to spot and prevent common motor failures. For technicians and operators who work around motor-driven equipment.

Qué aprenderá
- Explain in plain terms how a three-phase induction motor produces rotation.
- Interpret every field on a motor nameplate, including kW, voltage, current, speed, duty, IP rating and insulation class.
- Compare direct-on-line, star-delta and soft-start starting methods and state when each is appropriate.
- Explain what a variable speed drive (VSD) does and why it saves energy on pumps and fans.
- Recognise the common motor failure modes — insulation breakdown, bearing failure and VSD-induced bearing currents — and the protection that guards against overload and single-phasing.
- Carry out routine motor checks and report early warning signs before they become failures.
