  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 44 hours per semester
  • Home preparation for classes - 50 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
In the course, students will gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of electromechanical power converters. Emphasis is placed on transducers using electromagnetic and electrostatic forces, and the properties of intelligent materials. Students will also get acquainted with the basic properties of electrical machines, elements of power electronics and converters.
In this subject, there will be given the both theoretical overview and practical experience in the area of electromechanical power transducers. An accent will be put on transducers using electromagnetic- and electrostatic forces, and properties of the smart materials. Students will acquire the basic concepts of the electrical machines, power electronics and converters too.
