Alternating Current Winder Operation And Electrical Motor Maintenance Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply safe operating procedures for alternating current winders in accordance with industry standards
• Demonstrate correct winding techniques for AC motor coils and verify insulation integrity
• Analyze electrical motor faults using diagnostic tools and interpret test results
• Implement preventive maintenance schedules to extend motor lifespan and reduce downtime
• Evaluate motor performance parameters and recommend corrective actions
• Design basic winding layouts and select appropriate materials for repair or rewind

Target Audience

This course is designed for electrical technicians, maintenance engineers, and winder operators working in mining, manufacturing, and heavy industry environments.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience with AC motor winding, repair, assembly, and testing. Learners will perform actual rewinding, diagnostic tests, and maintenance procedures under supervision, reinforcing theoretical knowledge and building competence.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Motor Disassembly and Inspection — Learners disassemble a three-phase induction motor, identify components, and perform visual inspection and measurements. (8h)
• Practical 2: Winding Removal and Data Collection — Learners remove old windings, record winding data, and prepare the stator core for rewinding. (8h)
• Practical 3: Coil Winding and Insertion — Learners wind coils, insert them into stator slots, connect phases, and apply insulation varnish. (12h)
• Practical 4: Motor Assembly, Testing, and Troubleshooting — Learners assemble the motor, perform electrical and mechanical tests, and diagnose simulated faults. (12h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
