Selection

The selection is based on 1-165 credits.

Course Aim

The student should

be able to analyse and perform analysis of linear circuits for direct and alternating current in stationary and transient states,
be able to use node and mesh analysis for calculations in electrical networks consisting of linear components for both direct and alternating current,
be able to analyse circuits including ideal operation amplifiers for both stationary, transient and harmonic states,
be able to use a Spice based simulation software for analysis and design of electrical circuits,
be able to perform analysis of balanced and unbalanced three-phase systems, ideal transformers and basic DC and AC motors,
be able to demonstrate laboratory skills by designing and building electrical circuits on prototype boards and using oscilloscopes, function generators and multimeters to measure various electrical entities.

Contents

Electrical engineering is a vast area and the content of the course are therefore restricted to analysis of linear circuits. The course covers DC and AC voltage analysis for stationary and transient processes. The course also includes a electical power part that covers basic concepts in electromechanics and rotating machinery. The course used Matlab as a tool to make calculations and to collect and present measurement results from the laboratory work included. The course covers concepts as circuit theorems, constitutive relations for passive components, mesh- and nodal analysis, transient processes, operational amplifiers, the complex method, active and passive filters of different order, resonant circuits, complex power, transformers, direct and alternating current machines and the three-phase system.

Realization

Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website.

The teaching consists of lectures - lectures combined with problem solving - and four mandatory labs in groups of 2-3 students. Three of the four labs will be presented in report form. The course emphasizes individual problem solving, work in groups and the handling of modern laboratory measuring equipment.

Examination

If there is a decision on special educational support, in accordance with the Guideline Student's rights and obligations at Luleå University of Technology, an adapted or alternative form of examination can be provided.

A summative assessment is done through a combination of completed laboratory sessions (U G) and a written exam with differentiated grades (U 3 4 5).

Remarks

The course can not be included in the degree together with one of the Electrical Engineering courses E0012E/E0001E/SME093 or Elkretsteorikursen E0003E/SME096.
