Objectives (course unit)

The student knows
- the structures of the industrial electric power systems, their functional characteristics and their availability limitations
- the structure of the electric motor centers, their components and the basic principles of their design
- requirements of industry standards for the design of power systems
- ways to integrate the electric drive system into automation systems

The student can
- dimension and select components of the electric drive system for normal applications
- Design the motor output main and control circuits for common industrial applications

Content (course unit)

Structures, uses and typical applications of industrial power systems. Functional characteristics of direct-connected and controlled electric motor drive, as well as design and selection criteria for electric motor drive components.

Standard design of main and control circuits for electric motor outputs. Electric motor centers and their components. Electric drive systems as part of an automation system.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

The student knows the structures of electrical drive systems and knows their functional characteristics, and knows how to select and size components for the most typical industrial applications. The student also knows how to produce design documentation.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

The student understands the structures of electrical drive systems and knows their functional characteristics, and knows how to design overall solutions for the most typical industrial applications. The student can also produce standard design documentation.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

The student has deeply internalized the structures of electrical drive systems and their functional properties, and is able to design overall solutions for various applications on technical and economic grounds. As proof of this, the student is also able to produce high-quality, standard-compliant design documentation.
