Electric Machines

Catalog description

This course covers the basics of operation and design of electric machines. Fundamentals of magnetic circuits, B-H curves, Faraday's law, hysteresis, hysteresis and eddy current losses, self and mutual inductances are introduced. The analysis and operation of different types of industrial electric machines is presented, including single phase and three-phase transformers, dc motors and generators, induction machines and synchronous machines. Three-phase circuits and phase sequences in three-phase systems will also be covered. Prerequisite(s): I ECE 310 and I ECE 413 or permission of instructor.
