Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of course is to introduce students with the general structure of electrical drive and with structure of traction electrical drive. In the course are presented separate parts of electrical drive properties and properties of the electrical drives applications power part in the electrical traction. The concrete examples of the traction equipments are presented.
Students know after course general information about electromechanical properties of electrical drives and configurations and components of electrical drives. The views of the traction drives are presented.
Prerequisites
Knows from electrical circuit, power electronics and electrical machines are assumed.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Student must have view about categories and structures of electrical drives. Student must know basic properties and using of electrical drive components. Student must know advantages and disadvantages of electrical motors for electrical traction. Student must have practical skill from laboratory measuring.
