THIS GUIDE IS FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENT USE IN STUDYING STATIC CONTROL IN ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC PROGRAMS. IT WAS DEVELOPED BY AN INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS SPECIALIST AND ADVISERS. THE UNIT OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLES OF MAGNETIC AMPLIFIER OPERATION. EACH OF THE 12 ASSIGNMENT SHEETS CONTAINS THE LESSON SUBJECT, PURPOSE, INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION, STUDY REFERENCES, AND QUESTIONS. SOME OF THE LESSONS ARE (1) MAGNETIC THEORY, (2) THE SATURABLE REACTOR, (3) CASCADING AND BIASING, (4) BASIC FUNCTIONS OF MAGNETIC AMPLIFIERS, AND (5) MAGNETIC AMPLIFIER LOGICAL ELEMENTS. THE LESSONS ARE KEYED TO A REQUIRED TEXTBOOK. THREE EXPERIMENT SHEETS PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL APPLICATION OF THE INFORMATION. THE MATERIAL IS TO BE USED UNDER TEACHER DIRECTION FOR 40 CLASSROOM HOURS. THE TEACHER SHOULD HAVE THE NORMAL EDUCATION REQUIRED OF ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTORS, AND THE STUDENTS WILL USUALLY BE EMPLOYED IN THE ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES. THE INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE (VT 000 286) PROVIDES STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTIONS TO THE ASSIGNMENT SHEET AND TEST PROBLEMS. THE UNIT IS PART OF A SERIES OF 30- TO 40-HOUR UNITS WHICH PROGRESS THROUGH BASIC MATHEMATICS, BASIC ELECTRICITY, CONVENTIONAL MOTOR CONTROLS, BASIC ELECTRONICS, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS, AND STATIC ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. ASSIGNMENTS AND INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDES FOR THE VARIOUS UNITS IN THE ELECTRICAL-ELECTRONIC PROGRAM ARE AVAILABLE AS VT 000 284-VT 000 287, VT 000 308-VT 000 321, AND VT 005 507.
