EE 4400 - Electrical Machines

Prerequisite(s): EE 3500.
The application of electromagnetic theory to electric machine design and operation. Magnetic fields, magnetic circuits and magnetic energy storage are reviewed. Three-phase power systems are introduced. The principles and operating characteristics of transformers and rotating electrical machines are emphasized. Energy formulations are used to provide a common approach to the study of a variety of AC and DC machines. Laboratory experiments with rotating electrical machines are performed in the concurrent Machines and Controls Laboratory. Credit(s): 3 (3 plus 0)
