Course Information
Description
In this course the students will be presented with the principles of 3 phase electric power, including the characteristics of wye and delta connections. The fundamentals of two winding and autotransformers are examined, including various combinations of 3 phase transformer connections. The voltage, amperage and power of various three phase systems will also be analyzed.
