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

Native organizations units: Department of Power, Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering

Type of studies	Title
Master Academic Studies	Disaster Risk Management and Fire Safety (Year: 1, Semester: Winter)

General information:

Category	Scientific-professional
Scientific or art field	Theoretical Electrotechnics
ECTS	4

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.

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.
