Class Information
Structure: 

Laboratory projects completed before mid-semester are included in a progress report that is graded both on style and technical content. Three experiments (4, 5, 6) are combined into one major project that must be documented in a technical report. This technical report is also used in a required technical report writing class. This final report is graded both on style and technical content.

Topics: 
  • Nonlinear magnetic circuits. Measurements of magnetization current in a transformer with a digital oscilloscope and down load to a computer. Determine harmonic contents of the magnetization current using discrete Fourier transforms. (6 hrs)
  • Single phase transformers. Determine model parameters. Observe inrush current. (6 hrs)
  • Three phase transformer connections. Observation of harmonics in currents and voltages, and resolve with results of 1. (6 hrs)
  • DC machines. Determination of machine parameters including electrical and mechanical parameters. (6 hrs)
  • Synchronous machines. Determine machine parameters and run "V" curves. (6 hrs)
  • Perform a digital simulation of a transient experiment on a DC - Synchronous motor generator set. Perform the experiment and compare results. (6 hrs)
  • Three phase induction motors. Determine machine parameters and appropriate model. (6 hrs)
  • Project: Machine control - design, simulate and test. (18 hrs)
