Prerequisites |
LFSAB1201 and LFSAB1502
|
Main themes |
This course deals with electrical circuits and measurement techniques, serving as basis of the cursus in Electrical Engineering. It is also highly coupled with the project LELEC110.
|
Aims |
Contribution of the course to the program objectives (N°)
Axis 1 (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), Axis 6 (6.1)
Specific learning outcomes of the course
At the end of the course, the student will be able to :
-
Analyze and understand electrical circuits made of resistors, capacitors, (coupled) inductors, ideal operational amplifiers and sources
-
Calculate voltages and currents in AC steady-state (phasors) and in transient state (Laplace transform)
-
Represent the transfer function of an electrical circuit (Bode analysis) and identify its function (filtering, integration, amplification, etc.)
-
Identify the different two-port networks within a complex circuit, calculate the individual characteristics and derive the overall characteristics (serie or parallel connections)
-
Calculate the consumption of an electrical circuit (active and reactive power)
-
Solve polyphase circuits (in particular, three-phase circuits)
-
Understand and design typical measurement circuits: bridge circuits (sensitivity, accuracy) and instrumentation amplifier
-
Understand the concepts of sensitivity, accuracy and measurement errors (including error combinations) in the field of electrical measurements.
|
Evaluation methods |
Students are evaluated individually in a written exam, on the basis of the learning outcomes mentioned above. The exam essentially focuses on solving exercises and/or answering theoretical problems (no book/notes are allowed, only a form provided with the questions can be used).
|
Teaching methods |
Teaching is organized in weelkly courses and supervized exercise sessions. A mid-semester interrogation is organized around the 5th week about AC steady-state analysis.
