Summary
This course focuses on understanding the basic principles, composition and functions of DC and AC electric drives. The course content is based on knowledge of electronics, electrical machines, mechatronic systems and cybernetics.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to get theoretical knowledge enabling a good orientation in the principles of operation of electric drives and practical skills in their application.
The obtained knowledge is part of the Bachelor knowledge who comes into contact with the applications of electric drives.
