Course offered for

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering Electronics
• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Prerequisites

Intended learning outcomes

To give knowledge about the design and use of electrical power equipment used in mechanical engineering. In the end of the course the student should know about how to:

• perform calculations on symmetrical and unsymmetrical three phase systems
• perform calculations on three phase transfomer and draw complex circuits per phase
• understand the princip function and perform calculations on the DC-machine
• understand the princip function and perform calculations of the asynchronous machine
• perform calculations and phase control of inductive loads with capacitors in Y-or D connected
• perform calculations in power electronics with thyristors and diodes and rectifier AC-current with two-three and sexpuls bridges

• understand the princip function and perform calculations in speed control of the DC-machine
• understand the princip function and perform calculations in speed control of the asynchronous machine
• understand the princip function of the synchronous machine
• understand and know personal danger in electrical systems

  About teaching and examination language

  The teaching language is presented in the Overview tab for each course. The examination language relates to the teaching language as follows: 

  • If teaching language is “Swedish”, the course as a whole could be given in Swedish, or partly in English. Examination language is Swedish, but parts of the examination can be in English.
  • If teaching language is “English”, the course as a whole is taught in English. Examination language is English.
  • If teaching language is “Swedish/English”, the course as a whole will be taught in English if students without prior knowledge of the Swedish language participate. Examination language is Swedish or English depending on teaching language.

  Other

  The course is conducted in a manner where both men's and women's experience and knowledge are made visible and developed. 

  The planning and implementation of a course should correspond to the course syllabus. The course evaluation should therefore be conducted with the course syllabus as a starting point. 

  The course is campus-based at the location specified for the course, unless otherwise stated under “Teaching and working methods”. Please note, in a campus-based course occasional remote sessions could be included.  

  If special circumstances prevail, the vice-chancellor may in a special decision specify the preconditions for temporary deviations from this course syllabus, and delegate the right to take such decisions.
