Course Contents
For the wide field of the drive technology at low and medium power range from 1 kW up to about 500 kW…1 MW the conventional drives and the current trends of developments are explained to the students. Grid operated and inverter-fed induction drives, permanent-magnet synchronous drives with and without damper cage ("brushless dc drives"), synchronous and switched reluctance drives and permanent magnet and electrically excited DC servo drives are covered. As a "newcomer" in the electrical machines field, the transversal flux machines and modular synchronous motors are introduced.

Literature
A detailed script is available for the lecture. In the tutorials design of PM machines, switched reluctance drives and inverter-fed induction motors are explained.

Preconditions
Completed Bachelor of Electrical Engineering or equivalent degrees
