ELK 413 - Computer-Aided Design of Direct Current Machines

Course Objectives

1. To introduce step by step design procedures and related tools in designing of a DC machinery.
2. This course is especially usefull for students who are planning to practice design engineering in electric machinery manufacturers.
3. An engineering drawing software is utilized to generate technical drawings and documentation.

Course Description

Design and construction of direct-current machines are realized for different nameplate values assigned to each student. Calculations related to main machine dimensions, armature windings, commutators and brushes, main field and auxilary pole dimensions, copper and iron losses, heating and efficiency of the machine are carried out by means of a computer program selected by students.
