Electric Circuits and Machines Laboratory

Catalog description

This course covers the basics of circuitry including resistors, capacitors, and inductors in DC and AC circuits. AC power is examined so that devices that generate, transform, switch, and protect electrical power can be covered. Basic circuit analysis includes resistive circuits, voltage and current sources, analysis methods, network theorems, energy storage elements, and AC steady state analysis. DC and Stepper Motors construction with proper sizing and gearing concepts will be studied to select them based on application. Laboratory exercises reinforce the theoretical concepts presented in class and provide various opportunities to become proficient with standard instrumentation used in electrical engineering.
