1. Course Description:
The course mainly deals with the operating principles, constructional features, equivalent circuit diagram,
efficiency, testing & control and different type of performance characteristics of transformers, DC machines,
induction and synchronous machines.
2. Scope and Objective of the Course:
Electrical Machines are the work horse in almost all industries ranging from few watts’ power to several mega
watt power applications. The scope of this course is to study of working principle & operating characteristics of
Electrical Machines for the mode of Generation, and Utilization of Electrical Power. The specific objective of this
course is to gain better understanding of various conventional electrical-magnetic devices such as Transformer,
DC Machines and AC Machines.
The course covers theory as well as detailed experimental component for better understanding of the
concepts.
