Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to deepen primarily practical knowledge gained in Selected Chapters from electrical and operational safety of electrical equipment. Main topics of the course are basic measurements of electrical devices and computing examples of safety-related work on medical electrical and electronic equipment. Students are able to understand the basic measurements on electrical equipment. Students can perform basic calculations of current passing through the human body when dangerous to touch within safety.
Student gets practical skills on the field of work safety on electrical devices in the common enviroment and in the medical enviroment.
