Electrical Engineering Technology Online ET 332a Dc Motor, Generators and Energy Conversion Devices Course Introduction and Orientation |
|
This course examines the theory and operation of DC machines. DC machines are energy conversion devices that can operate as either motors or generators. This course covers relevant theory and reviews practical operation of these machines. Circuit models and mathematical formulas will describe their operation. The course develops torque-speed and voltage-load characteristics of common types of DC machines. The course introduces simple protection and control schemes. The course content will emphasize machine efficiency and proper motor application. Photocell arrays are a source of dc power. This course introduces the science and application of photovoltaic devices. Simple economic comparisons highlight the cost of solar energy when compared to grid-supplied electricity. The measurement and test of machine characteristics will be carried out in laboratory experiments. Software packages will be used to eliminate tedious calculations and speed data acquisition. |

Emergency Procedures SIUC is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask that you become familiar with the SIUC Emergency Response Plan and Building Emergency Response Team (BERT) program. Emergency response information is available on the BERT website at www.bert.siu.edu, Department of Public Safety’s website www.dps.siu.edu (disaster drop down) and in the Emergency Response Guidelines pamphlet. Know how to respond to each type of emergency.
Instructors will provide guidance and direction to students in the classroom in the event of an emergency affecting your location. It is important that you follow these instructions and stay with your instructor during an evacuation or sheltering emergency. The Building Emergency Response Team will assist your instructor in evacuating the building or sheltering within the facility. |
