Acquiring the basic knowledge in the field of electromechanical energy conversion, electric machines, power electronic devices and electrical drives.

- understanding the basic principles of electromechanical conversion of energy - understanding the basic features and ways of operation of rotating machines - understanding the basic features and ways of operation of static electric machines – transformers - understanding the basic features and ways of operation of the power electronic devices and their application - understanding the basics of electrical drives

The basic principles of electromechanical energy conversion. Power balance of electric machines. Types of rotating electrical machines. Alternating current electrical machines. Tesla’s rotating field. Synchronous machines. Asynchronous machines. Direct current machines. Static electric machines – transformers. Other electric machines. Power electronic devices. Fundamentals of electrical drives.

A course is taught through lectures and practice. In lectures, modern illustrations for intuitive understanding of the taught matter are used. In order to fully master the course matter, students solve problems in auditory practice, which accompanies lectures, thus enabling students to independently solve problems from the engineering practice. A part of the practice is carried out in the laboratory.
