Content
This course provides engineering students with in-depth knowledge of electrical machines theories. It teaches the students the necessary techniques of solving problems. The concept of magnetic field and the principle of operation of machines are covered. DC machines, their construction, their operation and their equivalent model are studied in depth. The principle of rotating magnetic field and AC machinery are underlined. AC machines including three-phase Synchronous machines and three-phase induction machines are explained. Analysis and calculations to find the voltage regulation and efficiency of a machine at a certain load are included. The different applications of each machine are studied as well.
