Machinery Laboratory

The Machinery Lab focuses on teaching the Fundamentals of Power Engineering. This focuses on the following areas: review of three phase circuit analysis, principles of electromechanical energy conversion, Fundamentals of the operation of transformers, DC machines, synchronous machines, induction machines, and fractional horsepower machines. Introduction to electronic motor drives. Introduction to power network models. The per unit system. Newton-Raphson power flow. Symmetrical three phase faults.

The laboratory includes the operation, analysis, and performance of transformers, motors, and generators. The laboratory experiments also involve the use of PC based software applied to power engineering analysis and design.
