Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration students at North Platte Community College are now NC3-certified in variable speed motors.

To receive the Trane certification, the students had to go through a “hands-on” course led by a qualified instructor. Upon completion, the students took exams.

Among other things, they had to demonstrate an understanding of motor design and components; the applications and sequence of operation of various motors; proper service procedures; use of appropriate tools and test instruments and proper steps and techniques in troubleshooting motor issues.
