autumn - spring

Course aims

1. To create the conditions and readiness for analyzing the reliability of electrical equipment.

2. To create the conditions for identifying the possibilities of maintaining the reliability of electrical equipment, formulating and implementing them.

3. To create the conditions for diagnostics and inspection of electrical equipment.

4. To create readiness for identifying and formulating:

- Early stage identification of the failures;

- Occurrence and propagation processes of the failures;

- Possibilities to avoid the failures.

Learning outcomes in the course

he student:

1. Analyses the reliability of electrical equipment (machines, transformers, converters, protection devices, cables, lines), describing the main possible failure reasons.

2. Identifies possible failures, using the most common diagnostic methods for electrical equipment.

3. Exploits electrical equipment, taking into account the influence for the environment.

4. Describes the means and methods for enhancing the reliability of electrical equipment and avoiding failures.

5. Performs inspection of electrical equipment, taking into account the theoretical background of reliability and practical implementations.
