Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The course deals with problems of rotating as well as nonrotating electric machines, such as mathematical model of the commutator machine, basic equations, magnetic field, commutation, single- and three-phase transformer, basic equations of harmonic current and voltage, influence of harmonics, efficiency, voltage drop, transient phenomena (switch to the network and cut-off), mathematical model of synchronous and induction machines, rotating magnetic field, induction machine (equivalent circuit, voltage equations, vector diagram, torque, starting and speed control, magnetic field harmonics and their influence), single-phase induction motor, operation of the synchronous machine on the network, its torque, stability, overload capacity, transient phenomena, cut-off, some special machines.
Passing this study subject the student obtains knowledge in the field of electric machines necessary for the following-up subjects "Electric Drives" and "Electric Traction I, II".
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the passed study subjects "Electrical Engineering", "Electronical Elements and Circuits I, II", and "Theoretical Electrical Engineering" is assumed.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

During the semester as well as at the final exam students must prove understanding solved problems. Specific requirements shall be stated to students by the teacher in the first week of the semester.
