EECE 470L – Electric Machines Laboratory

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.
