Fundamentals of the operation of transformers, synchronous machines, induction machines and fractional horsepower machines. Introduction to power network models and per-unit calculations. Gauss-Siedel load flow. Lossless economic dispatch. Symmetrical three-phase faults.
Laboratory considers operation, analysis and performance of motors and generators.
The laboratory experiments also involve use of PC-based interactive graphical software for load flow, economic dispatch, and fault analysis. Emphasis on engineering considerations applied to transformers, DC and AC machines in the steady state. Laboratory considers operation, analysis, and performance of large and small motors and generators. Kirchhoff's Laws, network theorems. Circuit elements, DC and AC network analysis.
