Rotating Machines

This course will give you an understanding of the theory of electrical rotating motors and generators.

We shall cover the fundamentals of rotating electrical equipment; this will include AC and DC motors and generators. Starting with the basic theories required and finishing up with some example problems. We shall start simple and then build upon your knowledge by working through several examples.

Upon completion of this course, the student will have a working knowledge of DC motors and generators including the commutation elements. This includes three-phase and single-phase induction motors and how synchronous generators work alone and are connected to larger systems.
