Courses

Electrotechnics I

The course covers the basics of electrical circuits composed of linear components, in direct current (DC) operation. A series of transforming methods are studied. At the end of the semester, alternate current (AC) systems are treated (complex numbers). Many examples and demos illustrate the course.

Electrotechnics II

In alternate current (AC) operation, the different types of power are brought up. 3-phase alternate supplies and their loads are treated. Finally, the course deals with the transient states, basics of choppers and switched power supplies. Many examples and demonstrations illustrate the course.

Actuators and Electromagnetic systems I

The course covers the main methods for the analysis of electromechanical systems. A study of magnetic physical quantities is followed by the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. The permanent magnet is studied macroscopically. The dynamic aspect of the system is seen at the end.

Actuators and Electromagnetic systems II

The students will be able to model, simulate and measure actuators and electrical motors
