To provide students with a solid set of basic knowledge enabling them to understand the phenomenon of electromechanical energy conversion and the basic operation of electrical machines most used in industry. It is intended that students know the electrical machines from the user's viewpoint and can analyze their behaviour and operation based on their equivalent circuits. Students should acquire basic skills that enable them:

• to identify the importance of electrical machines;
• to recognize and compare the different types of electrical machines;
• to understand the function modes, equivalent circuits and constructional characteristics of electrical machines;
• to use the equivalent circuits to analyse their behaviour in several steady state function modes; 
• to evaluate comparative advantages of the different types of electrical machines;
• to select the most adequate electrical machines for different applications and working conditions.
