Machines and Transformers

Catalog description

This course comprehensively studies electrical machines and transformers, focusing on the theory, operation, and application of DC motors including single-phase and three-phase AC circuits, transformers, and motors. Practical applications of power systems in industrial settings are emphasized, preparing students for the design, operation, and troubleshooting of electrical machines and transformers in real-world scenarios. The laboratory consists of design projects and practical exercises to reinforce key lecture concepts within a collaborative, group-based, active-learning environment. These active-learning design projects deepen students’ understanding through engagement and teamwork. Practical Exercises are hands-on, laboratory-based activities that engage students with real-world power devices while emphasizing essential skills such as instrumentation techniques (when applicable), precise data collection, and test result analysis against predicted outcomes.
