Summary
Subject deals with realization of basic technical means for electric regulation drives by means of analog and digital technics. For example setting, control and measuring means. In the subject there is very important to know electronics, power electronics and electric drives.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Main target of the subject is to obtain theoretical knowledge of technical means for electric regulation drives and practical experiences about their design and applications. Obtained knowledge is a part of general knowledge of electrical engineer especially if he deals with applications of electric drives and their control.
