Co-requisite: 60041/75003
Engineering professionals need a working knowledge of electrical components, instruments, machines and safety devices commonly encountered in the engineering workplace. To provide that knowledge, this unit introduces the principles of materials, components, instruments and machines for electrical energy conversion. Analysis of dc and ac circuits, as well as test measurements on resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, motors, generators, batteries and rectifiers, form part of the practical work.
