Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to elucidate problems of electric machines functional principles, constructional implementation, basic equations, DC motor and dynamo separately excited, shunt excited, serious excited, compound excited characteristics, one-phase and three-phase transformer principles, types, and operating modes, asynchronous and synchronous machines signification, using, operating modes, substitution diagrams, phasor diagrams, torque characteristics, methods of start, speed control, braking.
After the course completion the students are able to implement various types of electric machines such as DC motors and dynamos separately excited, shunt excited, serious excited, compound excited, various types of transformers, asynchronous and synchronous machines. They are able to perform their projection, to apply proper method of start, speed control and braking, to use the knowledge of electric machines application in engineering practice.
