MEC 240 - Advanced Electrical Circuits
Credits: 3
3 Skills Lab Hours
Prerequisites: MEC 103
Description
This course covers the analysis of single- and three-phase alternationg current (AC) circuits. Capacitors, inductors, time constants, resonance, resistive-inductive-capacitive (RLC) circuits and simple filters are studied utilizing a hands-on
approach.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Describe the operation of an AC power supply system.
- Analyze complex circuits.
- Identify types and functions of capacitors and inductors in an AC circuit.
- Construct capacitive and inductive circuits and measure reactance.
- Compare the uses for inductors and capacitors in various industrial applications.
- Construct various types of filter networks and measure their outcomes.
- Utilize an oscilloscope to analyze and troubleshoot AC circuits.
