Introduction

Welcome to the Electrical Machines Unit [ELEN2005]. This unit presents detailed information to understand the fundamental concepts of three-phase systems, magnetic circuit theory, torque/power in singly/doubly excited magnetic field systems, single and three-phase transformers, generators, and motors. You have enrolled in the internal availability for this unit. All students enrolled in the internal availability use the specific unit Blackboard site for all their resources. Students are advised to regularly check the announcements on the Blackboard. The Lectures and Tutorials are face-to-face and these sessions will also be recorded. The labs are face-to-face at power lab 206.203A. If the place changes, it will be informed in advance.
Lecture 1 x 2 Hours Weekly 
Computer Laboratory 1 x 2 Hours Weekly 
Tutorial 1 x 1 Hours Weekly
