ELEC-2082Electrical Principles
Building on the knowledge of electrical principles gained in ENGI-1082 (Electricity, Instrumentation, and Controls), this advanced course equips students with more specialized knowledge of electrical theory and concepts. In addition to problem-solving and performing electrical calculations, students will study concepts, principles, and applications in the production and distribution of electricity and the design, characteristics, and operation of DC generators and motors. They will also examine the relationship between terms in the formation of AC systems, as well as the characteristics, design, construction, and operating principles of AC power - from generators and motors through to transformers and switchgear. Safety is integral to the entire Power Engineering diploma program, and this course in particular stresses safety around electrical systems and equipment.
