Learning outcomes

The aims of the Course are to train the students to the specific knowledge regarding the traditional methodologies for the analaysis and the design of the electrical machines. Furthermore, the appropriate use of simulation software and thermal and electromagnetic field analysis will be presented and discussed.

After passing this course, students will be familiar with issues involved in design techniques, thermal and electromagnetic field analysis.

Course contents

General consideration on the design of the electric machines. Nameplate data. Output machine coefficients. Parameters involved in the design of the electrical machines.

Electrical Engineering Materials: Conducting materials, Soft magnetic materials (Laminations, Composites), Insulation materials, Permanent magnets.

Teaching methods

The developed exercises present examples of application of the theoretical subjects.

The development of specific arguments is also proposed leading to a final discussion of the produced report.

Assessment methods

The final test include:

a) Discussion on the report produced on the basis of the assigned machine design.

b) Oral discussion based on the main subjects of the Course

Teaching tools

Blackboard, overhead projectors and PC based presentations are employed during lessons.
