This course intends to endow the students with knowledge and skills in the electrical machines area. To achieve this, the students have to:

• Understand the operation nature of the magnetic circuits in the electrical engineering perspective, with emphasis in the electrical machines knowledge area;
• Understand the operation principle of power transformer as element of energy grid;
• Obtain skills on transformer tests and exploration level;
• Understand and apply the electromechanical energy conversion principles;
• Understand operation principle of the rotating induction machine (asynchronous machine) as electromechanical drive and power generator;
• Obtain skills on manoeuvres level, tests and exploration of rotating induction machines as motor, generator and brake;
• Understand the basic principles of operation of synchronous and direct current machines;
• Understand the principle of operation of single-phase induction machine as special machine.
