In this laboratory there is also a computer network
connected to the university's Internet network, having
SIMULINK and CASPOC simulation programmes, which
enable students to simulate the same operating modes of
electrical machines and transformers and compare the
practical results with those obtained with the simulation
programmes.
ElectronicsLaboratory
Analogue and digital electronics are taught in this
laboratory.Studentsarefamiliarizedwiththefunctioningof
analogue and digital electronic devices and circuits and
acquire theoretical and practical skills regarding the
operation, troubleshooting and design of analogue and
digital electronic schemes. Specialized software, such as
ORCADandCASPOC,areusedtosimulatethefunctioningof
