Subject fundamentals
The course aims to introduce the main concepts of the analysis circuit of the electric and magnetic phenomena, with particular attention to aspects of DC and low frequency. In the first part will be given the methodological bases for understanding the working principles and key operational concepts of electromechanical equipment and in general a rational, proper and safe operation of electrical equipment. The course aims to provide students with the tools to evaluate the performance of the main electrical machinery, in view of their application in industrial processes. In particular, it intends to condition the student to understand the principles of operation and can be treated, from the user point of view, the electric machines. |
