Electric Machines

A common base of electric machines: the nominal data types and operation of electrical machines, magnetic field, induced voltage, electromagnetic torque, losses and efficiency, heating of electrical machines. Addressing basic electrical machines: transformers, autotransformers, synchronous machines, induction machines and commutator machines. Presentation and discussion of modern electrical machines and their use at electric energy generation from renewable energy, automation of industrial processes, transport vehicles – hybrid and electric vehicles, robotics, and hand power tools. 

The aim of this course is to gain theoretical knowledge needed to understand the basic concepts of electrical machines and principles of operation of various types of electrical machines. Knowledge of the basic electric machines circuit models and input-output characteristics of electrical machines. Understanding of basic tests in the field of electrical engineering. Provide guidance for understanding the operational problems of electrical machines.

Lectures, tutorials and laboratory work.

Laboratory exercises are with heightened risk (high voltage, rotating parts, …).

The course consists of 45 hours of lectures, 15 hours of tutorial and 30 hours of laboratory exercises with heightened risk.
