ELE 3401 - Electric Power and Machines

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course introduces single-phase and three-phase AC power system analysis and the basic principles of electromechanical energy conversion devices. Topics include three-phase circuit analysis; magnetic circuit analysis; theory, construction, and operation of transformers; performance characteristics and analysis of common rotating AC and DC machines and their control. Concurrent laboratory work reinforces theoretical principles.
Prereq: ELE 2001  or ELE 2051  (quarter system prereq: EE 2060)
Note: None
This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None
