You’ll learn how relays provide isolation, enable remote control, support logic functions, and keep equipment operating safely.

In Episode 7, we’re exploring the future of motor control, where contactors and starters don’t just switch power—they communicate, predict failures, and integrate with your entire plant network.

In Episode 6, we're getting hands-on with the final steps that make or break your system: proper DIN rail and enclosure mounting, How contact arcing and wear shorten lifespan, and essential testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting tips.

In Episode 5, we’re diving into the brains and brawn of motor control: control circuit design and overload protection.

In Episode 4, we’re breaking down Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and the four main starter types that keep industrial motors running smoothly: Reversing Starters, Star-Delta Starters, Soft Starters, and VFDs.

In Episode 3, we’re going beyond Direct-On-Line (DOL) starters to cover the advanced starter types every industrial electrician and engineer should know: Reversing Starters, Star-Delta Starters, and Soft Starters.

In Episode 2, we're showing you how to choose the right contactor for your industrial motor control systems.

In Episode 1, we’re breaking down Contactors 101—the essential, heavy-duty switches that control industrial motors safely and reliably.

We're tackling the essential best practices for clean, reliable wiring inside industrial control panels. From shielding and routing to cable management and grounding, learn how to avoid electrical noise, reduce maintenance headaches, and keep your system safe and professional.

In Episode 5, we're diving into the essential field devices that feed your automation system: sensors, transmitters, and signal conditioners.

Your control panel doesn’t just need to think—it needs to connect. In Episode 4, we're cracking open the essential networking gear that powers industrial automation: switches, routers, and firewalls.

In this episode, we’re diving into how control panels actually talk to the rest of your industrial systems. From SCADA and MES to DCS and remote monitoring, industrial automation relies on solid communication to keep everything running smoothly, safely, and efficiently.
