Purpose of class
Students will learn the structure, function, theory, and characteristics of each type of electrical equipment (transformers, induction machines, synchronous machines, and DC machines).
Course description
[Summary]
Electrical equipment includes rotating machines, which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa via magnetic energy, and transformers, which convert the form of electrical energy via magnetic energy. These devices are collectively referred to as electromagnetic energy conversion devices.
In the Basics of Electrical Equipment course, students will learn about the fundamental principles, structure, and characteristics of electromagnetic energy conversion devices from a unified perspective, emphasizing their physical and electro-magnetic meanings.
In the study of electrical equipment, students will learn about transformers, DC machines, induction machines, and synchronous machines.
Goals and objectives
  1. You will be able to explain the principles, structure, and control methods of DC machines, and calculate the characteristics of DC machines using equivalent circuits.
  2. You will be able to explain the principles and structure of transformers and calculate the characteristics of transformers using equivalent circuits.
  3. You will be able to explain the principles and control methods of induction machines, and calculate the characteristics of induction machines using equivalent circuits.
  4. You will be able to explain the principles and control methods of synchronous machines, and calculate the characteristics of synchronous machines using equivalent circuits.
