Course Details
(a) Course Objectives:
1. The aim of the course is to Learn the Electric traction system, their
energy consumptions and utilization of power.

2. This course is to explain highlights and key concepts of heating and

welding energy requirements and their consumptions.

3. To learn the basic concepts of planning and control.

4. To help the students how to implement several simple tools, job aids,
and references to use and improve your laboratory operations

(b)Learning Outcomes:
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
Describe the fundamental parts of electrical drives including, electrical
machine and load.
Explain the operating principles transformers and dc machines
Identify parameters in models of electric tractions systems, electric
traction motors and their power consumptions.
Use equivalent circuits to analyze electrical machines in steady state
Describe the design of a simple three-phase ac winding and explain the
concepts of pole number and winding factor.
Various operating characteristics of Traction motors and their speed
control.
Moreover, learning the basic of illumination engineering, heating and
welding energy consumptions.

Explain the background to voltage harmonics and estimate their influence

on e.g. losses in electrical machines
