Any good basic training on drives and controls?
Any good basic training on drives and controls?
(OP)
I'm a new Facilities Engineer at a small facility. I'm a Chemical Engineer by training with 7 years experience in the Food Industry but no experience with the electrical side of things. I can see I'll need to get up to speed quickly and I was wondering if you can recommend any basic training sources, preferably online, for motor drives, PLC's, controls, basic electric and instrumentation 101.
Thanks
Thanks

You can also try NTT, both of these companies do one and two day general type seminars on this topic. Not as in depth as a manufactuer's course, but not any partcular brand sales pitch either.

Sorry to hear you found American Trainco not up to par, in my former company we had used them for several years and had about an 80% favorable review by technicians who took their courses. I also just took a class on using the Fluke Power Analyzer and found it interesting and helpful.
Will admit that NTT classes seemed a bit more in depth, but never really did find a technical training vendor who I would say provided 100% satisfaction. Of course, many of our customers said the same thing about the classes we provided on our products.
One of my coworkers recently took the 3 day NTT class on drives and found it very helpful.
