Effectiveness of a Locally Fabricated Three Speed Permanent-Split Capacitor Run Motor Trainer

Allan Q. Guillermo

Abstract: ABSTRACT This research study developed and constructed the Locally Fabricated Three Speed Permanent-Split Capacitor Run Motor Trainer. Its main objective is to have a trainer which will be utilized as an instructional model in performing experiments and other related activities pertaining to variable speed AC motors. This study is a developmental method in nature. It was accomplished through designing, gathering needed materials, testing and validation. Descriptive-evaluative type of research was also used to determine the technical viewpoint of respondents regarding the mean level of acceptability of the developed trainer in terms of its usefulness, effectiveness, functionality and reliability and safety The results of the study revealed that the developed trainer is applicable in various learning experiences to enhance the knowledge and skills of students in electric motors particularly three speed permanent-split capacitor run motor. On the other hand, the developed trainer was evaluated ?Excellent? and would imply that it is very much acceptable as an aid for various variable speed AC motor experiments. However with a grand mean rating of 4.61 further implies that there?s more to improve about the trainer.
