Elevators - Complex Electrical Systems in Today’s World
IEEE VTS Philadelphia Chapter Meeting
The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Philadelphia Chapter and the IEEE Philadelphia Section are holding a joint meeting. The topic is Elevators - Complex Electrical Systems in Today’s World. Mr. Joseph F. Maida, P.E., is our guest speaker.
Elevators have existed for over two thousand years. The original elevators were complex, for their time, and were driven by humans or animals. Today’s elevators are powered by electricity and driven by motors and are likely the most complex equipment within the infrastructure of buildings. This course will review the history of elevators, the codes and standards that apply to elevators, elevator types and their components, and the complexity of the electrical power and control systems that make them function safely
