Level 100 - Course #106: Electric Motors -
In this course you will be introduced to foundation principles on the function of induction motors. We will study the principles of electromagnetism and how this affect both the stator and rotor, and how these two components work together to provided powered rotary motion. We will look at both three phases and single-phase motor operation and will compare asynchronous and synchronous motors by looking at both induction and electronically commutated types.

This course provides an introduction to vertical turbine pumps as configured for deep well applications. It covers the basics for virtually all markets that employ deep well pumps, including agricultural irrigation, along with municipal and industrial water supply. The focus is on lineshaft type turbines – both open lineshaft water lubricated and enclosed lineshaft oil lubricated. The main components of turbines, along with their interactions, are explained, as are the various driver types that are available. Finally, we will explore some of the advantages and challenges that are associated with deep well turbine pumps.

Course Level 100:
One of the first steps that must be taken in order to gain an ind-depth knowledge of deepwell open lineshaft water lubricated vertical turbine pumps and their proper application, sizing, and selection is to learn about all component parts and how they work together to provide an integrated functioning machine. We will explore all parts from the top of the motor to the bottom of the strainer, including those in the discharge head, the column and shaft, the bowls and impellers, and the drivers.
