Subject: Fire and Explosion Protection due to Electricity (17.URZP55)

Native organizations units: Department of Power, Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering
General information:
 
Category Scientific-professional
Scientific or art field Theoretical Electrotechnics
Interdisciplinary No
ECTS 4
Educational goal:

The course objective is to introduce students to the basic physical properties and laws in electrical engineering. Students acquire knowledge about hazards in the working space due to atmosphere and induced electricity, excessive currents in electrical circuits, excessive flux variation in magnetic circuits, as well as excessive power transfer in one-phase and symmetrical three-phase circuits of time variable currents. Numerical calculations develop student`s sense of size order of physical units describing certain phenomena.

Educational outcome:

Students are trained to understand and use ``Regulations on general measures for occupational safety due to dangerous effects of electricity in the working facilities, offices and at construction sites``, ``Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia``, no. 21/89. After completing the course, students also acquire engineering intuition which helps them identify risks and prevent fire and explosion due to electricity.

Course content:

Coulomb`s law. Electric field. The potential. Voltage. Capacitance. Critical field. Breakdown voltage. Protection against static electricity. Direct current. Kirchhoff laws. Matched load. The maximum power transfer. The magnetic field. Biot-Savart law. Ampere`s law. Magnetic circuits. Faraday`s law of electromagnetic induction. Sinusoidal currents and voltages. Complex power. Symmetrical three-phase systems. Protection against excess current. Technical standards for protection against fire and explosion.

Teaching methods:

Lectures are oral presentations accompanied by demonstration of measuring instruments and numerical problems solving on blackboard. Besides, multimedia presentations, photos and video clips are also presented.
