Introduction to MCEMAX*
Upon completion of the course the student shall be able to safely perform all MCE® and EMAX tests and use the test results to evaluate the condition of a motor circuit. This course is intended both for technicians who perform testing and analyst who evaluate the results.
The student shall be able to safely perform all MCE® and EMAX tests.
Enabling Objectives
- EO 1 – List and describe the Six Fault Zones in an electric motor circuit, including which tests are used to determine the condition of each Fault Zone.
- EO 2 – Identify the equipment safety parameters.
- EO 3 – Describe the purpose and operation of all major hardware components and their
associated controls. - EO 4 – Describe the purpose, operation, and major components of MCEGold® software during
user operations. - EO 5 – Describe all tests, including initial conditions, performance of the test, basic
interpretation of test results, and theory of motor operation as it applies to the test. - EO 6 – Identify the conditions that may cause the tester to capture inaccurate or unusable data.
- EO 7 – Given results from specific tests, identify the most likely suspect/faulty motor circuit
component and the next troubleshooting step to be performed. - EO 8 – Match applicable industry standards used by the tester to applicable tests.
- EO 9 – Describe the purpose and functions of the MCEGold Utilities Menu.
- EO 10 – Identify the proper methods for database management.
