Module details for 2018/19.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 6
Module Outline
Topics will normally include the following:
. Electrical Drive Systems: Fundamentals (translational and Rotational motion, power rating and classes of duty. 4-quadrant operation. Torque/power limits. Note on closed-loop control of drives. Electrical and mechanical transformers.
. DC drives: Brushed and Brushless, and intro to their control issues.
. AC motors: examples of motor drives (e.g. induction motors), and intro to their control issues (emphasize model based control characteristics, nonlinearity involved)
