Electrical Machines and Drives: 1. Introduction to Electrical Machines and Drives

ET4117. Master Electrical Engineering. The course gives an overview of different types of electrical machines and drives. Different types of mechanica loads are discussed. Maxwell's equations are applied to magnetic circuits including permanent magnets. DC machines, induction machines, synchronous machines, switched reluctance machines, brushless DC machines and single-phase machines are discussed with the power electronic converters used to drive them. This is the first and the introduction lecture to the course.
