Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students should:
a) know the operation of induction machines (three phase and single phase),
b) know construction details of the induction machines,
c) be able to analyze the operation of the machine through the equivalent circuit,
d) know basic design elements of an induction machine,
e) be able to experimentally determine the parameters of the equivalent circuit.
Course Content (Syllabus)
The contents of the semester course “Electrical Machines B” within the specialization on Electrical Energy is as follows:
