This course introduces fundamental concepts of electrical engineering, including DC and AC circuits, magnetic circuits, and electrical machines. Students will learn the basics of electrical installations and the practical use of electrical components.
Electrical circuit elements (R, L, C), Kirchoff’s laws, analysis of DC circuits, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems, and time-domain analysis of RL and RC circuits.
Sinusoidal waveforms, real and reactive power, power factor, analysis of single-phase AC circuits, resonance, and three-phase circuits.
Magnetic materials, transformers, three-phase induction motors, synchronous generators, torque-speed characteristics, and speed control.
Components of LT switchgear (MCB, ELCB), types of wires and cables, earthing, and batteries. Elementary calculations for power factor improvement and energy consumption.
The lab course provides practical experience in handling electrical equipment and verifying theoretical concepts studied in electrical engineering.
