Objective
The students know the basics of the power electronics used in converters, e.g. structures and operating principles of commutated rectifiers and inverters. They know the components and devices of electric drives. They are able to size the components of constant and variable speed drives for various applications, such as pumps, blowers, conveyors and lines. They are familiar with the bus solutions used in the control. They know the most common protection and control methods. They are able to parameterise and set up electric drive devices and equipment. They know the latest techniques used in electric drives and are able to follow the development in this field.

Exam dates and retake possibilities
The dates and methods of the midterm exams will be announced in the course opening information.
Alternative completion methods
The admission procedures are described in the degree rule and the study guide. The teacher of the course will give you more information on possible specific course practices.
Student workload
One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of five credits is approximately 135 hours. The load is distributed in different ways depending on the course implementation.
Further information for students
Self-assessments are mainly done through learning tasks. The assessment decision is based on the skills demonstrated in the exercises and midterm exams.
