Troubleshooting a Three Phase Motor that is Overheating
By Excelsior College
In this simulation activity, an electrician will troubleshoot an AC motor that is overheating. Before accessing blueprints and then using a multimeter to find the fault, the learner will follow safety protocols by following lock-out tag-out procedures and then suit up with appropriate (PPE) personal protection equipment.
