Course detail

Measurement in Electrical Engineering

FEKT-BPC-MVEAcad. year: 2024/2025

The course deals with the issue of measurement of electrical and non-electrical quantities partly in electrical engineering. The emphasis is compared to the level of knowledge in this field, the practical work of measuring instruments and procedures for data processing. Applies to these locations:
The classification of instruments for measuring electrical quantities. Principles of correct measurement. Analog measurement electrical quantities. Digital oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Time, frequency and phase. Instruments for measuring current performance. Apparatus for measuring passive el. variables. Measurement of parts, circuits and systems. Generators for measurement of properties. Automation of measurement. Measurement of magnetic and other variables.
