Abstract:
The Electromechanical units course examines the basics of low voltage apparatuses, contactors, motor
protection, motors, electrical drives (DC and AC), as well as the means and methods of automation. It
studies the application of power engineering in electrical drives, as well as the selection of electric motors.
Course prerequisites include Electrical engineering-1, Electrical measurements, Electrical engineering-2,
Automatics. The course is linked to Control of electromechanical systems – 1, Control of electromechanical
systems-2 and the Graduation thesis.
Course content:
Fundamentals of electric engineering. Low voltage apparatuses. Transformers. DC electric machines, AC
electric machines. Single and special machines.
Teaching and assessment:
The course is based on lectures and independent student work. Direct contact hours include lectures and
laboratory practice. It makes use of industrial models, electrical drives, and special-purpose trial-pieces.
Classes are visualized with prospectuses and company literature. Laboratory practice is conducted in
cycles. The course is validated if all the lessons are attended. The final mark is based on the results of the
written exam and participation in the laboratory exercises. There is an oral testing if needed.

Annotation:
The main goals of this course are to improve the knowledge and skills of the students of the Department of
Automatics and Mechatronics, which they got from the classes based in RU “Angel Kantchev” and to
acquire and learn new, specific knowledge and skills in a real-life companies and organizations, involved in
designing, development, production, operation and maintenance of automation systems, computer and
office electronics and more.
Syllabus contents:
Production process of the factory or organization. Structure, tasks and organization of the work of different
departments of the enterprise or organization. Structure, characteristics and parameters of the automation
systems. Architecture, software programming, Input/output devices and abilities for expansion/updating and
upgrading of computer systems.
Teaching and learning methods:
Training placement for the students takes place in enterprises, companies, organizations with wellorganized
and modern industries or in companies and organizations which have signed a special contract
with the department for practical training. The final grade is based on the review of the documentation
gathered by the student during his work and training; discussions with the student and the head of the
department in which was the training about the objectives achieved and acquired skills.
