Course content
Program of lectures: 1) ELECTROMECHANICS: Basic theories of electromechanical transformations, multi-winding system, energy / coenergy, forces. 2) ELECTROMECHANICS: Moving systems, energy balance and forces, application to the moving and rotating system, transformation and movement induced voltage. 3) Transformers: equivalent circuit (losses and efficiency), voltage drop - short circuit voltage, transient phenomena (sudden short circuit, start-up current). 4) Transformers: Three-phase transformers, magnetizing current (influence of winding connection), Autotransformers, parallel cooperation of transformers. 5) Rotating machines: Rotating magnetic field (2-phase, 3-phase), basic view of three-phase winding, winding factor, space harmonics. 6) Induction machine: Basic structure - properties and usage, equivalent circuit, transformation of equivalent circuit into gamma-shape form, factor c1. 7) Induction machine: Voltage ration, losses and efficiency, energy balance during acceleration, torque characteristic as depend on slip and speed, circular inversion of the impedance line. 8) Induction machine: Start-up, soft start, Y-D, braking, speed control u/f, PWM principle in relation to the machine. 9) Synchronous machine: Basic design - properties and usage, equivalent circuit for non-salient rotor, synchronous reactance, g-ratio, phasor diagram for non-salient rotor, short-circuit ratio. 10) Synchronous machine: Mathematical model, overloading, synchronization torque, machine on the grid, circle diagram, standalone generator. 11) Synchronous machine: Decomposition on d-q component (equivalent circuit and phasor diagram with Xd and Xq), torque characteristic and machine performance, PM machines. 12) DC machines: Basic construction - properties and usage, purpose of individual windings, losses and efficiency, induced voltage and torque of the machine, characteristics according to the connection. 13) DC machines: classical commutation, electronic commutation in relation to EC motors, BLDC motor. Laboratories 1) Introduction to laboratory regulations and safety regulations, conditions for granting credit 2) Transformers: No-load and short-circuit test measurement, winding resistance measurement, transformer voltage ratio, measurement of self- and mutual- inductances. 3) Transformers: determination of the parameters of the substitution scheme from the measurement (comparison with the self-inductance and mutual inductance) 4) Autotransformers: Measurement of self- and mutual- inductances ATR (for substitution diagram). 5) Induction machines: No-load and short-circuit test measurement, voltage ratio of the machine 6) Induction machines: current diagram, determination of the parameters of the substitution scheme from measurement 7) Synchronous machine: No-load and short-circuit test measurement 8) Synchronous machine: Measurement of machine reactances 9) Synchronous machine: connection to the grid, loading characteristics of the machine 10) Synchronous machine: determination of the current ration based on measurement, overloading, phasor diagram on a scale 11) DC machine: Dynamo loading 12) DC machine: DC motor loading 13) Recapitulation and discussion
