COURSE DESCRIPTION
•
Course Objectives:
•
understanding basic laws, principles and phenomena in the area
of electrical engineering,
theoretical and practical preparation enabling students to apply
the acquired knowledge and skills in professional and specialist
courses.
1.
define the properties of AC values – waveforms, temporal and
mean values,
2. apply phasor and symbolic method to present and calculate
Learning outcomes
electric values in AC networks,
3. demonstrate measuring of basic electrical values on electric AC
On successful
circuit elements,
completion of this
4. create equivalent schemes of two-port networks, resonant
course, student should
circuits and transformers,
be able to:
5. describe three-phase AC systems and rotating magnetic field,
6. explain application of AC circuits and devices in realisation of
electric appliances, machines and systems.
Basic AC analysis. Sinusoidal EMF and current: Generating
sinusoidal EMF, parameters, phasor method, different mean values.
Loads in AC circuit: Resistance, inductor and capacitor impedance;
series, parallel and mixed circuits. Symbolic method in alternating
circuits’ calculation: Complex numbers basic calculation. Analysis
of simple (series and parallel circuits, star-delta transformation) and
complex AC circuits, complex power and maximum power transfer
theorem. Two-port networks: Basic and conditional equation,
computation of parameters, equivalent circuits, input output and
Course content
characteristic impedance, cascade connections. Resonance: Series
and parallel resonance, frequency response, quality factor,
bandwidth, resonance in circuit with real inductors and capacitors.
Coil with magnetic core: Equivalent circuits, DC pre-magnetizing,
hysteresis and eddy current losses. Transformers: Coupling, voltage,
current and impedance transformation. Three-phase circuits: Basic
characteristics star and delta connections, balanced und unbalanced
loads, power and power measurement in balanced and unbalanced
systems. Rotational magnetic field. Experiments- demonstration.
