| Description of the course:
Based on the fundamental principles of physics, this course explores the conversion mechanisms of electromagnetic energy into other forms of energy--mainly mechanical.
Applications studied cover transformers, different types of electrical machines (synchronous, asynchronous, DC).
Table of contents:
Fundamentals laws of electromagnetism, magnetomotive and electromative forces, electric and magnetic circuits, single- and three-phase sinusoidal regimes, rotating fields, hysteresis and eddy current losses.
Electric conversion: single- and three-phase transformers (equivalent circuits, characteristics), introduction to electronic control systems (AC-DC, DC-DC, AC-DC, AC-AC).
Electro-mechanical conversion: synchronous machines (equivalent circuits, torque, operation on a network), asynchronous machines (equivalent circuits, torque, efficiency, circle diagram, startup, speed control), DC machines (characteristics, torque, startup, speed control) |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course the student will be able to understand electrical energy conversion phenomena, and will possess the necessary tools to analyze them in a quantitative manner using simple circuit-type models. |
|
