Course Overview

The AC/DC Motor Theory course was specifically developed for electricians and electronic technicians as well as for the multi-craft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities. This course consists of 11 interactive, on-line lessons that address AC and DC motor theory.

Module Overview

The second lesson in the AC/DC Motor Theory Course, this lesson explains synchronous speed and how to calculate it. The lesson demonstrates the relationship between phased current and rotor spin and induction and its effect on a rotor. Slip and how to calculate slip using its formula are also covered.

Module Objectives

• Explain and be able to calculate synchronous speed.
• Explain induction and its effect on a rotor.
• Explain the relationship between phased current and rotor spin.
• Explain slip and know its formula.
