60 hours: Lectures 18 hours: Laboratory, exercises and simulation 3 hours: visit to the laboratory In the academic year 2021/22 the lessons and simulation laboratories will be held in presence. Virtual classroom videos will be made available at the same time, video-recorded, and made available on the “Portale della Didattica”.

The class notes, the simulation models, the exercises, and the documentation needed for preparing the exam will be provided online via the teaching portal. A useful source of information is found in the following books: • “Electrical Machines”. D. Gerling. Springer, 2016 • “Design of rotating electrical machines”, J. Pyrhonen, T. Jokinen and V.

Exam: Written test; Optional oral exam;

The exam has a written and an oral part, both will take place according to the general procedures defined by PoliTO regarding the access of the students to the campus. By default, both written and oral parts will be given in presence. The students who cannot participate in presence for motivated reasons will be allowed to the blended or online modes described in the following. The written part will take place on the Exam platform in LAIB, at the date and time scheduled on the university portal. It has a duration of 90 minutes and consists of: - 6 multiple-choice quizzes: 1.0 points per questions, -0.33 penalty points for errors - 4 numerical quizzes: 2.5 points per questions. The numerical tolerance allowed on the result will be declared case by case. - 2 open quizzes: 2.5 points per question. - One written exercise: 10 total points. This must be hand-written on A4 pages, to be scanned and uploaded on the Exam platform in digital format. The score of the written exam will be saturated to 30 and evaluated as follows: • With a score of 16 points or lower, the exam is failed. • A score between 17 and 19 points implies a mandatory oral examination. • A score of 20 points or higher can be directly registered. In such case, the student can opt for the oral exam. The optional oral exam consists of one or two questions covering the course program. The final score consists of the average score of the written and oral parts.

In addition to the message sent by the online system, students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to directly inform the professor in charge of the course about the special arrangements for the exam that have been agreed with the Special Needs Unit. The professor has to be informed at least one week before the beginning of the examination session in order to provide students with the most suitable arrangements for each specific type of exam.
