Learning outcomes (list)

1. Expertise: You have insight into how electrical and mechanical components influence each other in products, services, and systems, and you align them accordingly.
You describe the operation of a transformer.
You describe the operation of an AC machine.
You explain the basic principles of three-phase star and delta loads.
You explain the operation of various types of AC electric motors and transformers.
2. Installation: You install a complex electromechanical system, commission it, and keep it operational.
You construct simple electrical AC circuit diagrams and you troubleshoot faults.
You integrate various electrical measuring instruments into an AC electrical installation.
You correctly connect the AC machine based on nameplate data.
4. Analysis and justification: You independently analyze a technical question or problem within the framework of a complex electromechanical project and propose technically sound solutions.
You predict the behavior of a resistor, inductor, and capacitor in an AC circuit.
You correctly analyse an AC circuit using measurement data (power, voltage, current, phase shift).
5. Design: You create structured designs within the scope of an electromechanical project, critically using various sources.
You perform AC calculations with resistors, inductors, and capacitors.
You calculate the different types of power.
