William J. Dumas is one of the most dynamic instructors in the control industry. His
presentations are practical, informative and entertaining. He is known for his unique
ability to make difficult subjects exciting and easy to understand. Participant evaluations
frequently state that it is by far the most informative training seminar they have ever
attended.
Purpose of Seminar:
The purpose of this "hands-on" seminar is to provide students with
the skills needed for the creation, testing and troubleshooting of electrical
ladder diagrams, schematics and one line diagrams in their plant or facility.
Students will be provided with a Laptop Computer and use Visual Simulation
Software to create, modify and experiment with over 30 complete circuits that
can be tested from the three phase power components to the control circuit.
Who should take this course?
This course is designed for anyone who needs to understand electrical drawings
and schematics for servicing and troubleshooting facility and industrial electrical
systems. Attendees come from a wide variety of industries, skill-levels, company
sizes, and backgrounds - as long as you work with electricity this course can be a
