Introduction
This course equips learners with core knowledge of electromechanics and electric motor drive systems. Based on electric machinery theory, it covers key concepts in energy conversion and motor design. Learners will explore the principles of electrical drives, gain practical skills in designing common types of electric motors, and learn how to assess dynamic performance. The course also explains the relationship between motor parameters and system behaviour. This course is ideal for learners interested in electrical engineering, power systems, and motor drive technologies.This course is credit-bearing (3 AU) and stackable to:
- Graduate Certificate in Power Engineering (9 AU)
- FlexiMasters in Power Engineering (15 AU)
- MSc in Power Engineering (30 AU)
Learners will receive their Statement of Accomplishment (for a grade of D and above) or Certificate of Participation for this course—dependent upon their assessment performance.
This course is part of the FlexiMasters in Power Engineering.
