Objectives
  • Teaching the students to systematically analyse and solve problems regarding electrical drive-applications.
  • The course focuses on topics which graduates must know to succesfully select, specify and maintain modern electrical drives and their electronic controls.
  • A practical approach by hands-on exercises on laboratory-implemented drive-platforms is strongly emphasised.
