Electrical Panel Design in EPLAN: Motor Direct-On-Line (DOL) Starter

Learn in-depth to design and implement the most common motor starter for industrial automation applications – the Direct On-line (DOL) Motor Starter. The complete circuit diagram and circuit components are included. 6 lessons in 1-hour total course length.

Course Description

This course will teach you to design and implement the most common motor starter for industrial automation applications – the Direct On-line (DOL) Motor Starter. We will build a complete circuit diagram and explain in detail all the circuit components, both for power and control circuits.

You will learn how to properly dimension (size) all the power circuit components. After this course you will understand the following:

  1. Symbols (IEC/NFPA).
  2. Power circuit components such as fuse, contactor, motor overload switch – motor protection circuit breaker (MPCB).
  3. Control circuit components such as START/STOP pushbuttons, emergency stop pushbutton, signal lamps (aka pilot .lights), relay and it’s role etc.

Course Summary

  1. Power circuit
  2. Control circuit
  3. Signal circuit
  4. Overload relay, fuse monitoring solution
  5. Contactor VS Relay (with examples)
  6. NFPA style symbols in this circuit diagram
