Catalog description:
EECE 470L is a laboratory 1- credit course designed as a supplement to the Electric Machines (EECE 370) course.
The course covers practical experiment on transformers: open circuit, short circuit, and load test; unbalanced
loading and parallel operation of transformers; speed control and load characteristics of shunt, series and
compound DC machines; induction machines: blocked rotor, no-load, and loading tests; operation of single-phase
induction motors; operation of a synchronous machine connected to a large external source.
Prerequisites: By course: EECE 370, By topic: Calculus, differential equations, and electric and magnetic circuit
analysis. Knowledge of KCL and KVL and ability of analyzing Electric Circuits. Basic computer simulation skills
using Matlab.
References:
− None
Computer usage: Word Processing for report writing and Matlab or LabVIEW for analysis.
