ELCT 211 - AC Measurements

Credit(s): 3

Prerequisite(s): ELCT 102.
This lecture/lab course consists of a series of experiments to investigate the characteristics of single-phase and three-phase electrical circuits. The connections and testing of transformers in both single-phase and three-phase configurations are stressed. Students also learn the operation of three-phase motors from conventional sources and phase converters with an emphasis on efficiency, operating characteristics and connections. (Spring Semester)

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to

Employ the testing and wiring procedures to safely and accurately determine/set the electrical characteristics of single-phase and three-phase electrical circuits.
Describe the operation of three phase motors from conventional sources and phase converters.
Safely and correctly test the operation of transformers in both single and three phase configurations.
