8T-Rotating Machines

Overview

Credit: 8 technical hours

This course will focus on the fundamentals of rotating electrical equipment, including AC and DC motors and generators. Starting with the required basic theories and working through some example problems, we will move through a simple liner DC machine, rotating DC motors and generators, induction motors. Finally, synchronous motors and generators will be addressed, which will have an entire chapter and set of problems dedicated to it.

It is recommended to have a familiarity with electrical circuits such as Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s law and working knowledge of mathematics including equations. However, every effort has been made to keep the calculations as simple as possible complete with detailed explanations related to all calculations. This course can be used as an introduction or as a refresher.
