After passing the course, the student shall be able to
- describe the meaning of active, reactive and apparent power
- describe/explain concepts as amp-turn, flux density, flow, inductance, reluctance and magnetic energy, and carry out calculations on simple magnetic circuits
- calculate magnetic forces by means of the force law and virtual work
- describe the function of the transformer transmission lines, the synchronous machine, the bridge-connected DC-DC voltage converter, the voltage source inverter and the components of an electric drive system
- analyse three-phase systems by means of single-phase equivalent circuits, phasor diagrams, the complex method and calculate mean values, peak levels and RMS values and for simple waveforms also fundamental value and harmonics
- describe different types of nodes in an electric power system and calculate power flows in an electric power system consisting of lines and loads.
