About
About the course
Course content
In this course, you will learn that all types of electromagnetic energy conversion are based on electromagnetic induction. The main principles of electromechanical systems, in particular, and electromagnetic systems, in general, will be covered.
There are many electromagnetic devices based on these principles. It includes important electrical machines such as asynchronous machines, synchronous machines and PM machines used in generators and motors. In addition, transformers are covered.
Problems used in the course are intended to strengthen understanding of the phenomena and interactions in electromechanics and electromagnetic energy conversion and include examples from current research.
