Entry requirements

120 credits in science/engineering including Electronics, Electromagnetism and Electrical Power Engineering. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• use several different measuring methods within electrical power technology,
• plan and implement experimental determination of physical variables used within high voltage engineering,
• apply relevant measurement standards,
• analyse and present data.

Content

Statistical methods applied on measured data.

AC and DC bridged circuits - null and deflection type bridges measuring resistance capacitance and inductance.

Measurement of quantities under varying environmental conditions, compensation due to these variations.

Measurement of high AC and DC currents - different calibrations and standards, operating currents and fault currents.

Measurement of high AC and DC voltages - different calibrations and standards, operating voltage and power surges.

Measurements of power (active / reactive) and energy - standards and calibrations, phase shift.

Measurement concerning insulation materials, devices, electric field, dipole moments, tanDelta - standards and caliberbration.

Measurements of resistivity, conductivity and contact resistance, magnetic materials - magnetic losses of various kinds.

Instruction

Laboratory excercises with integrated lectures and tutorials.

Assessment

Laborative examination including written examination of theoretical aspects.

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.
