Electrical Machines and Drives

The course gives an overview of different types of electrical machines and drives. Various types of mechanical loads are discussed. Maxwell's equations are applied to magnetic circuits including permanent magnets. DC machines, induction machines, synchronous machines, switched reluctance machines, brushless DC machines and single-phase machines are discussed with the power electronic converters used to drive them. Three lab practicals for DC machines, Induction machines and Synchronous machines, respectively.
