BEE3102 Electrical Machines and Drives II

This course builds on the first course in electrical machines to investigates the methods by which electrical energy is converted from one voltage level to another using transformers, and converted to mechanical energy, using electrical machines and appropriate control techniques.

Course Objectives
This course aims to enable students to:

• Gain the basic working principles of electrical machines and transformers
• Analyse the characteristics and performance of electrical machines 
• Understand the basic concepts of electrical machine design

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, a student will be able to:

• Outline different types of alternators and their performance criteria. 
• Identify different types of synchronous motors, interpret their performance under different load conditions 
• Explain the construction and working principle of various types of three phase induction motor. 
• Summarize different techniques related to speed control of three phase induction motor. 
• Understand the principles related to machine design
