Learning outcomes

  • Determine the influence of voltages and frequencies on magnetic behaviour for each component, as well as magnetic losses.
  • Determine the parameters of transformers and draw vector diagrams for transformer circuits.
  • Determine parameters of direct-current machines with a shunt or series field using a given torque/speed curve, as well as draw the torque/speed curve from given parameters.
  • Determine the point of operation of synchronous machines in a static situation, using given parameters, as well as determine parameters from measurements.
  • For asynchronous machines, determine the relationship between given parameters in an equivalent-circuit diagram and the torque/speed curve.
  • For asynchronous machines, interpret torque/speed curves regarding starting, stopping, controlling speed combined with given load curves of machines.

Content

- Magnetic phenomena in electrical machines. Behaviour of soft and hard magnetic materials and their losses.
 
- Structure of 3-phase systems and their vector diagrams.
 
- The following technical components:
