Aim

The aim of this course is to provide students with theoretical knowledge of direct and alternate currents and to provide knowledge and general skills in chart reading, troubleshooting and installation in electrical engineering. Students will also be given an understanding of measuring system accuracy and a basic understanding of logic control.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

- Explain concepts of direct current theory, as well as performing basic calculations
- Identify concepts of single-phase and three-phase AC, and perform basic calculations
- Explain electricity production and distribution from the producer to the user
- Apply basic measurement techniques, and the most common measuring instruments in electrical engineering
- Perform basic chart reading and troubleshooting
- Explain the basic concepts and areas of control theory

Content

- DC theory
- AC theory
- Electric equipment
- Electricity production and distribution
- Measurement technique
- Schematic reading
- Troubleshooting
- Logic control

Organisation

The course consists of lectures and laboratory work. The course ends with a written exam

Literature

Compendium and other documents uploaded on course home-page.

Examination including compulsory elements

Written exam, laboratory work and laboratory report.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
