Objectives of the Course To teach students the design principles of electrical machines (induction, synchronous, and transformers), including electromagnetic and thermal modeling techniques, and to provide the competence to perform performance analysis and optimum design methods.
Course Content Induction machine design, electrical and magnetic loading, insulation systems. Simple thermal models of electrical machines and cooling methods. Harmonics in induction machines and reduction techniques (skewing). Calculation of induction machine parameters from physical dimensions. Synchronous machine design, calculation of performance curves from machine dimensions, and determination of terminal voltage waveforms. Optimum design of induction and synchronous machines. Design of low and high-voltage transformers.
Course Methods and Techniques Lecture explanations, slides, diagrams, and videos used to visually explain complex topics.
