Content
This unit aims to provide students with principles of magnetic circuits, single phase and three phase transformers, real and reactive power, characteristics of electrical machines and drives (generator and motors) and power electronics fundamentals which are all used for many industrial applications such as utility power system, wind power generation, electric vehicle applications, power plants, and many industrial processes. This unit will also introduce variable speed motor drives and associated power electronic converters.
