Electrical technology

The course covers the following:
Electrical circuits: calculation with Ohm's and Kirchoff's laws of series and parallel circuits, Thevenin's theorem.
Single and three-phase alternating currents: definitions of sinusoidal voltage and currents, using phasor diagram and the jw-method, Y- and D-connected three-phase systems.
Power: active, reactive, and apparent power, phase compensation.
Transformer: design, windings-, voltage- and current ratio, transformer formula.
Non-synchronous machine: design, moment, rotational speed, slip, loss and efficiency, Y and D connected machine, frequency regulation.
Direct current machine: design, separate and series magnetised machine, moment, rotational speed, loss and efficiency.

Progressive specialisation: G1F (has less than 60 credits in first‐cycle course/s as entry requirements)

Education level: Undergraduate level

Admission requirements: Registered for Mathematics for engineers I, 7.5 ECTS credits, or admission to the study programme in Mechanical Engineering or Innovation and Design Engineering, or equivalent

Selection: Selection is usually based on your grade point average from upper secondary school or the number of credit points from previous university studies, or both.
