Learning outcomes
After a successfully completed 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.
