Basic circuit elements and circuit topology, Kirchhof’s first law, Kirchhof’s second law, Thevenin theorem, Norton theorem, Rosen-Kennely theorem Typical circuits employed in electronics (voltage /current divider, Wheatstone bridge), RLC circuits (transient response) AC circuit theory (sinusoidal steady state analysis, phasors, complex impedance, active/reactive/apparent power, power factor) Three-phase power systems (symmetric three-phase power systems, three-phase Y and Delta configurations) DC electric machines (series/shunt wound DC motor/generator, appropriate equivalent circuit models) AC electric machines (asynchronous motor, synchronous generator, appropriate equivalent circuit models, motor starting configurations, selection of an AC motor, parallel operation of generators, electrical hazards and protection) Laboratory: Apart from the 2h weekly instructions, the specific module incorporates also a laboratory part where students have the opportunity to perceive practically the key principles introduced at lectures, by performing appropriate “hands-on” exercises.
