Fundamentals of Electrical Drive Technology
Grundlagen der elektrischen Antriebstechnik
6 CPSummerEN
Contents
• Introduction and basics: Drive system, energetic and information/controls part, Requirements, Definitions, Motions • Basics of electrical machines: Types, Design, physical basics, characteristic, move- and break operation of DC and AC machines • Modelling: Transformation in drive systems, linear and rotational movement, mechanical Power, kinetic Energy, static and dynamic behavior • Dimensioning of the drive machine: losses, temperature classes, thermal behavior, operational modes, criteria/method of machine selection
Learning outcomes
Students learn the basics of Electrical Machines in Drive Systems. They understand the functional principle in modelling and can explain the static and dynamic electrical and thermal behavior. Concrete Drive Parameters are calculated in the seminar. Due to the learned kinetic and energetic laws students are able to calculate the behavior of the system and the dimensioning of the machine. In the exercise students apply these learnings in the laboratory and train teamwork.
