Learning outcome

After successfully completing the course, the candidate will have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence.

Knowledge

The candidate:

• Masters the function and operation of electrical transformers and the most common electrical machine types (e.g. asynchronous and synchronous, single phase and DC)
• Has knowledge regarding which type of electrical machinery is suitable for which application

Skills

The candidate can:

• Calculate the equivalent circuits of transformers and various electrical machine types from measurements and ratings
• Connect transformers and various electric machines to determine their rating

Course Description

The course focuses on the structure, function and operation of electrical machinery, electromagnetic field conditions in transformers and electrical machines, fundamental power electronics, induction heating, r.p.m. control, DC and AC motor drives, load and operation types, and the simulation of some commonly used motor operations under load.

Teaching and Learning Methods

The learning outcomes will be ensured through a combination of lectures, exercises, excursions and laboratory work.

Assessment Methods

Continuous assessment:

• laboratory work (30%)
• individual examination (70%)

The laboratory work must be approved as entry condition for the individual examination.

Individual grades (A-F).

Minor adjustments may occur during the academic year, subject to the decision of the Dean
