| Course Purpose and Objectives: |
This course aims to provide the students with the essential basic knowledge that is required for Power Engineering. • The students learn to analyze three-phase circuits in star and delta configurations as well as to calculate the active, reactive and apparent powers in circuits. • Basic notions such as the per unit system and power factor correction are analyzed and applied. • The students study magnetism and magnetic circuits. • In depth knowledge and analysis of electric machines (single-phase and three-phase transformers, dc motors, synchronous and asynchronous machines). • Familiarization with power electronics equipment (rectifiers, dc/dc converters, uninterruptible power supplies). |
| Learning Outcomes: |
The students are expected to: • Understand and apply the basic principles in Power Engineering • Analyze three-phase circuits. • Know the basic parts and to describe the operating principles of single-phase and three-phase transformers • Know the basic parts and to describe the operating principles of dc and ac machines. |
| Prerequisites: | ECE 102 |
