Course Notes:

Course notes will be placed on the course website

Course Description:

Fundamentals of electromechanical energy conversion. Motors and generators, transformers, single and polyphase power circuits, polyphase synchronous and induction machines, power measurements.

Prerequisites:

Physics 1E03, and registration in Math 2M06, or Math 2P04 and 2Q04.

Course Load:

2 lectures and one tutorial (two hours) per week, one term

Course Objective:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze, model, and predict the performance of ac power devices and systems including single-phase and balanced three-phase systems, transformers, and ac generators and motors. They will also be able to measure the parameters for these models using standard tests.

Link:

This level I course builds on the concepts of electricity and magnetic fields covered in Physics 1E03. Practical aspects of electric and magnetic power circuits are introduced and applied to the analysis of electric machines.

Assignments:

There will be four assignments in total.

Academic Dishonesty:

The Faculty of Engineering is concerned with ensuring an environment that is free of all adverse discrimination. If there is a problem, that cannot be resolved by discussion among the persons concerned, individuals are reminded that they should contact the Department Chair, the Sexual Harassment Officer or the Human Rights Consultant, as soon as possible.

Students are reminded that they should read and comply with the Statement on Academic Ethics and the Senate Resolutions on Academic Dishonesty as found in the Senate Policy Statements distributed at registration and available in the Senate Office.

Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads:  “Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty”), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.

It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty.  For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm 

The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:

1. Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one’s own or for which other credit has been obtained.

2. Improper collaboration in group work.

3. Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
