Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Aims
Deepening knowledge in the design of electrical machines with a focus on electromagnetic and thermal calculations. After completing the course, the student should be able to analyze an electrical machine from the perspective of both the electromagnetic field and the thermal field.
A graduate of the course is able to:
- analyze the electromagnetic field in a single-phase transformer using analytical methods and the finite element method (FEM),
- explain the issue of heat dissipation and cooling in an electrical machine,
- construct a thermal network of an electric machine,
- analyze the temperature distribution in an electrical machine,
- optimize the electric machine from a thermal point of view.
