Overview
Syllabus
PURPOSE
This module will prepare students in developing a thorough understanding of electrical engineering principles and procedures primarily in the analysis of ac circuits within an engineering environment.LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student should be able to:- communicate an understanding of the established fundamental principles, concepts and terminology within ac networks;
- analyze various ac circuits that contain series, parallel and series-parallel RLC elements by the selection, synthesis and implementation of the established principles, procedures and practices;
- analyze various ac series and parallel RLC circuits in terms of resonance;
- establish the parameters for, and implement the principles, procedures and practices for single phase power factor correction;
- establish the parameters for, and implement the fundamental principles and operation of single phase transformers;
- establish the parameters for, and implement the principles, procedures and practices relevant to complex waveforms;
- establish the parameters for, and implement the principles, procedures and practices relevant to three phase circuits;
- establish the parameters for, and implement the principles and procedures for analyzing dc and ac circuits using the various network theorems.
