EEL 4220 Electro-Mechanical Dynamics

EEL 4220 Electromechanical Dynamics

Course Description

This course provides an introduction to the basic principles of electromechanical energy conversion devices. Topics include magnetic circuits, theory, construction and operation of transformers, performance characteristics and analysis of common rotating machines and their control. The laboratory work is designed to illustrate the concepts and characteristics of these devices including the use of programmable controllers. Computer programs are used to aid in the analysis of transformers and induction motors.

Class Announcements

First day of class is Aug 24. First day attendance is manditory for not being dropped from the course.
