Entry requirements
60 credits in science/engineering, including basic courses in electrical circuits and electromagnetism.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- account for the different electrical machines' functionality,
- perform equivalent circuit calculations for synchronous and asynchronous machines,
- plan and carry out measurements on electrical machines, analyse the data as well as draw and present conclusions.
Content
Rotating electrical machines in terms of rotating and interacting magnetic fields. Basic function of DC machines. Synchronous windings, power factor and load angle. Losses, normal operation and transients in synchronous machines. Asynchronous machines such as motor and generator as well as their equivalent circuit. Reactive and active power.
Instruction
Lectures, tutorials and laboratory work.
Assessment
Written examination at the course end as well as laborative work.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
