1. General information
The subject is designed for the study of the practical application of electricity.
The main objectives are: to master the operation of the most important electrical machines, to know the most important industrial applications where each of the machines studied during the subject are used, and to develop a minimum skill in laboratory tests and handling of instrumentation with electrical machines. This subject is related to some of the Sustainable Development Goals, such as SDG 7 and SDG 8.
2. Learning results
In order to pass this subject, the students shall demonstrate they have acquired the following results:
- Understand the principles of operation of electrical machines and has the ability to apply them to the analysis of steady-state and transient operation of electrical machines.
- Have the ability to identify, classify and describe the behavior of electrical machine systems through the use of analytical methods and modeling techniques of electrical machine analysis.
- Understand user needs in the selection of electrical machines.
- Have the skills to work in an electrical engineering laboratory.
- Understand the codes of practice and industry standards for electrical machines.
- Identify, classify and describe low, medium and high voltage electrical installations and electrical protections.
3. Syllabus
- The contents to be developed are as follows:
- The electrical power system.
- General aspects of electrical machines.
- Selection of electrical machines and regulations.
- Transformers
- Three-phase systems.
- Single-phase and three-phase transformer.
- Connection of transformers in parallel.
- Autotransformers and instrument and protection transformers.
- Rotary machines
- Winding and rotating magnetic field.
- The three-phase asynchronous machine.
- The three-phase synchronous machine.
- The direct current machine.
4. Academic activities
- Theory classes (30 hours): classroom with projector, blackboard, real examples, catalogs..
- Problem classes (15 hours): problems and typical cases will be developed in the classroom with the participation of students.
- Laboratory practicals (15 hours): in small groups, checking operation, connection, measurement of magnitudes of the main electrical machines.
- Assignments (24 hours): encourage continuous work by students through deliverable exercises, short exams, simulation practices, etc.
- Study (60 hours).
- Assessment tests (6 hours)
The EUPT teaches the subject in two different modalities: face-to-face (already mentioned) and blended learning (theory classes and problems through recorded classes and virtual tutorials); practices are online (40%) and face-to-face (60%) concentrated in one or two days to be agreed with the blended group).
5. Assessment system
Assessment throughout the semester (preferred):
- Evaluable activities (20%). No minimum grade to pass the subject.
- Laboratory practices (20%). Previous preparation (50% of this section) and performance, results, previous work , aptitude... (50% of this section). The practice not performed is scored with a 0. Internships are not made up (except with official proof, by prior agreement with the assigned teacher). Minimum grade to pass the subject: 5.0 (*) (valid in both calls). If the practice grade is less than 5.0, the Global Assessment must be taken.
- Practoces are not validated. Exceptionally, a practice exam without notes may be taken.
a) Theoretical part (30% of this section). Minimum grade 4.0.
b) Part problems (70% of this section). Minimum grade: 4.0.
The minimum grade of the complete exam to pass the subject is 5.0 (*).
(*) If the minimum grade in practice or exam is not reached, the final grade in the course will be the lower value between the weighted average and "4.0"
Global assessment (exceptional): In both calls, students with an internship grade lower than 5.0 will be able to opt for a global assessment:
- Practical laboratory exam (30%). Minimum grade to pass the subject: 5.0 (*). It will be done at the end of the exam of the subject (date agreed between student-professor; without notes).
- Subject exam (70%). Similar structure to that of the assessment throughout the semester.
