Electrical Engineering 3. [Holladay].
The Fall Term is devoted to an advanced study of Alternating
Current Phenomena as encountered in complex Electric Circuits,
Transformers, Induction Motors, Frequency Changers, Alternators
and Synchronous Motors. The Vector Method is freely employed, as
by its use the analysis of the complex phenomena of Alternating Currents
is greatly simplified.
During the Winter Term a study is made of Electric Traction and
Traction Apparatus, including the various types of Direct and Alternating
Current railway motors, controllers, brakes, rolling stock,
track, train performance, and electric railway economics.
The work of the Spring Term is in part a résumé of the
entire course, embracing a general study of the Generation and Transmission
of Electrical Energy, Prime Movers, Generating apparatus,
auxiliary apparatus, switchboards, High Tension Transmission Lines,
and economic designs of modern Electric plants and Transmission
Systems.
Laboratory exercises run parallel with the lectures throughout
the entire course.
