Appreciation of Generator Principles & Protection Theory (GEN)
This two-day introductory course covers the generation of electricity from first principles. Starting with Fleming’s right-hand rule and progressing through to modern brushless generators. The course also includes the operation, synchronising and protection of generators. This is a classroom-based course with no practical content except for the use of computerised simulators.
Course content
- Energy and power sources
- Electromagnetic induction
- Single phase and 3 phase generators
- Generator construction
