Advanced electrical design
P R Voumard
4 points * 26 lecture hours, 26 tutorial hours * First semester * Caulfield * Prerequisite: ELE3252
Introduction: the Australian scene, economics. Specifications and pricing: standards, AAV formula, tenders and contracts, firm and variable prices. Core design: construction, shapes, frames series. Steel: properties, grades, losses, parallel and cross flux, magnetising parameters, magnetostriction. Insulation: requirements, test voltages, puncture, creep, strike, flashover, interlayers, multiple systems. Windings: LV and HV designs, reactance, SC forces, magnetic balance, losses and thermal design. Procedure: normal design sequence, initial parameters and the AAV formula, CD compensation, control of impedance, manufacturing constraints, production times. Computerised design: wide scope design facilities, speed, accuracy, component packages, the main TX program.
