Content

In this module you will learn everything about drive systems; this means the entire conversion of electrical power to mechanical power. You will also work on your study choices for years 3 and 4 in the field of professional skills in the form of job application training, among other things. 

You start this course with a number of basic knowledge components where: network theory (3-phase systems), mechanics and magnetism are discussed. As a follow-up to this, you will dive into the fields of power electronics, electrical and mechanical drives. With all the knowledge you have gained, you are then able to analyze a drive system and give advice on the functioning of the system in the form of a replacement and/or maintenance proposal.
