The descriptions shown below are for the academic year: 2022-2023

Learning Outcomes

The student will be familiar with the most important electric machines, their operation and driving properties. The student has skills to rate motors for a constant use. Motor drives are dealt with as a whole, from supply devices and cables to motor. The student learns to use manufacturers' table values when selecting a motor for use.

Student's Workload

Total work load of the course: 135 h
- of which scheduled studies: 68 h
- of which autonomous studies: 67 h
The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.

Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
