Learning Outcomes

The objective of the study unit is to help the student to get an overall picture of the structures of electrical systems and thus to facilitate the student to integrate the details studied later on to be a part of the bigger entity. The student knows the most important components of electrical systems and their functionalities in theory and in practice. The students understands the basic phenomena and laws related to electrical systems. The students learns to make simple electrotechnial connections.

Student's Workload

The total amount of student's work is 54 h, which contains 30 h of contact studies.

Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses

Not required

Contents

Basic components of electrical systems, such as power generation facilities, power transmission and distribution network and various forms of utilisation of electrical power. The most important electrotechnical basic phenomena and operating principles, such as generator (electromagnetic induction), battery (electrochemical reaction), transformer and electric motor (electromagnetic induction), fluoroscent lamp (controlled gas discharge), short circuit and earth fault. Basic laws in electriacl engineering, such as Ohm's law, Joule's law, Coulomb's law, Kirchoff's law, Faraday's law of induction. Three-phase system and its principles used in Finland.
