Learning Outcomes
Having completed the course, the student has preparedness to dimension a motor based on the stresses caused by transient states. The student understands the thermal model of the motor and is able to apply protection and control devices in a variety of ways. The student has an ability to consider the impacts of various starting, braking and speed control methods when selecting a motor and the utilisation of a frequency converter in these situations.
Student's Workload
135 hours, of which 4 x4 hours laboratory assignments in addition to lectures. Two hours reserved for the exam.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
