What it is about
In this module you will learn the physical fundamentals of electrical machines, in particular the description of current- and position-dependent inductances, space-vector representation, as well as the calculation of waves, forces and torques. In the end you will be able to mathematically describe the operating behavior of typical rotating machines (asynchronous and brushless/synchronous machine) and calculate torques and harmonic components.
What you will be able to do
- Understand the physical operating mode of electromechanical transducers
- Understand the creation and calculation of torques
- Apply space-vector and wave descriptions
- Calculate forces, base and harmonic components
- Apply growth and scaling laws to machines
- Mathematically describe the operating behavior of different machine types
