Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

Student should have been able to:
- explain electromagnetic basic principles, solve DC, AC electric circuits with lumped parameters and magnetic circuits,
- differentiate functions of one and more variables,
- integrate functions of one and more variables,
- solve transients in linear and nonlinear circuits using Matlab Similink,
- explain principle of operation and properties of electromagnets, transformers, induction, synchronous and DC machines.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Three written tests of five points each.
Five mini projects of one point each.

Credit is conditional on achieving at least seven points from written tests and submission of five mini-projects.

The final exam is for eighty points, the written part for twenty, and the oral part for fifty points.

In total, it is possible to achieve one hundred points.

To pass the exam, the student must have been awarded a credit and have a total of at least fifty points.
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.

Aims

The students will get the basic knowledge of electromechanical energy conversion, the knowledge of how to set dynamic equations of electromechanical systems and how to solve these equations on PC. The students will be acquainted with the general theory of electrical machines.
