Topic description
This topic covers:
Techniques of AC circuit analysis including sinusoidal steady state current, voltage and power calculations applicable on singe and 3-phase AC circuitry
Fundamental principles of electromechanical energy conversion including transformer's theory and testing
General overview on structural/functional concepts of DC, synchronous and induction electrical machines including step-motoring
Educational aims
Electrical circuits and machines are fundamental building blocks of the electrical/electronic related Bachelor of Engineering degrees at Flinders. This topic aims to:
Teach electrical circuits and machines from both a theoretical and practical application's prospective
Teach students how to efficiently report findings performed in a practical environment and analyse/syntheses theory with practice
Develop critical thinking through evaluation of given tasks
The models, techniques and knowledge learnt will form the intellectual framework for future topics. This topic is an important foundation for learning how to design, operate and maintain electrical/electronic systems
Expected learning outcomes
On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
Understand AC circuits and machines
Analyse AC circuits
Apply AC circuit electromechanical conversion theory in the laboratory
Write an engineering laboratory report
Execute a range of skills in laboratory logbook maintenance
Develop independent critical thinking and ability to fluently and efficiently communicate engineering ideas and concepts to others (both in oral and written form)
Each class is numbered in brackets. Where more than one class is offered, students normally attend only one.
Classes are held weekly unless otherwise indicated.
FULL
If you are enrolled for this topic, but all classes for one of the activities (eg tutorials) are full, contact your College Office for assistance. Full classes frequently occur near the start of semester.
Students may still enrol in topics with full classes as more places will be made available as needed.
If this padlock appears next to an activity name (eg Lecture), then class registration is closed for this activity.
Class registration normally closes at the end of week 2 of each semester.
Classes in a stream are grouped so that the same students attend all classes in that stream. Registration in the stream will result in registration in all classes.
Unless otherwise advised, classes are not held during semester breaks or on public holidays.
