Course abstract

The aim of the course is to learn the calculations of AC circuits, knowledge of magnetically coupled coils, inductance M, transformer, three-phase current physical nature, three-phase circuitry - star-star with "0" wire, star-star without "0" wire, triangle circuit and calculation methods, low-phase mode calculations. Nonlinear AC circuits and physical phenomena in nonlinear circuits, transition processes in linear electric circuits, their calculations, switching laws, electrical circuits, inductances, electric filters, electrical lines, processes in lines are considered.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge - the theoretical foundations of electrical engineering and theory of electric circuit calculation, is understanding of physical processes in electrical circuits - control works, laboratory works;
Skills - to perform calculations of electrical circuits - tests;

Competence - to calculate electrical circuit parameters and evaluate their performance - tests.
