OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to differentiate between a WYE and a delta system.
Objectives:
- Lay out a vector diagram of voltages in a three phase WYE circuit.
- Plot a vector diagram of voltages in a three-phase delta circuit.
- Apply the law of cosines to calculate the line current in a three-phase system.
- Calculate the power, the true power, and the total power in three phase systems.
Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to define the operation of a transformer.
Objectives:
- Define step down transformer, step up transformer, transformer efficiency, exciting current, ampere-turns, and primary winding to secondary winding voltage and current ratios.
- Explain feedback from one secondary winding to the other primary winding and state the steps that must be taken to minimize this hazard.
- List the information provided on the nameplate of a transformer.
