Abstract:
The subject gives knowledge of automation control systems of the technological objects. During the lectures
students are introduced into the principles and technical realization of transducers, controllers and actuators. The
course is linked to the following subjects: Automation systems in power supply, Electronic devices and systems in
agriculture and food production, etc.
Course content:
The structure of an automation system. Types. Transfer function. Dynamic characteristics. Models and dynamic
elements connection. Technology processes and objects for control. Automation measurements of basic
technology values. Industrial controllers. Actuators and valves.
Teaching and assessment:
Lectures introduce the basic topics from the course syllabus. The seminars follow the lecture topics. The student
prepares individual reports. The workshops’ evaluation is taken into account in the final assessment of the student.

Abstract:
The course objective is to acquaint the students with transformers and direct current machines arrangement,
principle action, theory, characteristics and research methods.
Course pre-requisites include Higher Mathematics, Physics and Theory of Electrical Engineering , Electrical
Materials Science and Electrical Measurements.
The course has output links with Electrical Machines 2, Electrical Transport, Electrical Drive and Electrical
Equipment.
Course content:
General issues of the electrical machines theory. General knowledge of the machines. Structure and principle
action of direct current machines. Armature windings. Inducing electromotive force in the armature windings.
Electromagnetic torque. Commutation. Direct current generators and motors. Types. Characteristics. Special types
of direct-current motors. Electrical machines with electronic commutation. Transformers arrangement and principle
action. Modes of operation. Winding and group connection. Harmonic content of the magnetization current. Work
in parallel. Special transformer types.
Teaching and assessment:
The theoretical basic issues on all topics from the syllabus, presented at the lectures, are further practised during
the laboratory exercise. The students must prepare for the laboratory exercise in advance. The exam is conducted
in written form and consists of two subject questions. The final exam mark depends on the mark received on the
laboratory exercise.
