Programme

Review of electromagnetism fundamentals, basic principles and theorems for the analysis of electric and magnetic circuits. Representation of sinusoidal electric quantities, definition of circuit impedance and analysis of single-phase and three-phase circuits; instantaneous power, active power and power factor in single-phase and three-phase circuits.
Instruments and methods for measuring current, voltage, active power, power factor and energy in single-phase and three-phase circuits.
Basic principle and operating characteristics of power transformers.
Theory of the rotating magnetic field; basic structure and operating characteristics of induction and synchronous machines.
Components and systems being used in power plants devoted to either generation or transportation or distribution of the electric energy; protection against either overvoltages or overcurrents; sizing of low-voltage secondary-network systems; power-factor correction; protective grounding and safety-related aspects in power distribution systems.
