AGENDA

We recommend continuous training in the following sequence:

• Module 1: Electronics and Electrical Fundamentals
• Module 2: Bridge Circuits
• Module 3: Electrical Machines
• Module 4: Control of electrical machines
• Module 5: Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
• Module 6: Measurement technology using strain gauges

1. Electronics and Electrical Fundamentals

• Language: English
• Course objective: The aim of this course is to provide a basic technical understanding of all relevant topics in the area of electricity.
• Course content: The first e-learning unit of this course is called “Electronics and Magnetism”. It covers the relationship between current, voltage and resistance, which is expressed by Ohm’s law. In addition, electric and magnetic fields are contrasted and different types of magnets are considered.
  
  The second e-learning unit deals with the important components of a circuit, the capacitor and the coil, as well as the resulting phenomena and physical laws, the Lorentz Force, the Hall Effect and the principle of induction.
  
  Furthermore, direct current and alternating current are analyzed. For the analysis of circuits, Kirchhoff’s Laws and the circuit types parallel circuit and series circuit are explained. With regard to alternating current, the Star connection and the Delta connection are considered.
  
  The topic of AC circuits is covered in greater detail. Therefore, the complex numbers are explained in order to then discuss the complex voltage and the complex current. Furthermore, this chapter covers the impedance and the Root Mean Square.
  
  The last part of the e-learning contains an introduction to power electronics, which is based on semiconductor elements. In addition to teaching technical basics, it explains how various components can be constructed using semiconductors. Here, special attention is paid to the diode and the MOSFET. The user is therefore familiarized with the concept of the p-n-junction.

2. Bridge Circuits

• Language: English, German
• Course objective: The course focuses on the most important bridge circuits currently used in industry. The aim is to know, understand and be able to use the circuits.
• Course content: In this e-learning course you will learn about the basics of bridge circuits first. We are covering the voltage divider, the fundamental circuit, bridge voltage, and the variants of bridge circuits as well as their use. In the following part further explanation on balanced and unbalanced bridge circuits is provided.

3. Electrical Machines

• Language: English
• Course objective: The aim of this course is to introduce the learner to electrical machines and provide information about important machine types.
• Course content: The first e-learning of this course gives an introduction into the basics of electrical machines where some general information is presented. Afterwards, four e-learnings offer an overview on different machine types: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PSM), Synchronous Machine (SM), Induction Machine (IM) and DC & Brushless DC Machines.
• The e-learning on control design focusses first on the procedure of control parameterization. This includes topics such as decoupling, pre-control, simplification of the mathematical description, and control optimization methods. This is followed by the cascaded control, where we also discuss current control vs. torque control, field-weakening control, anti-shuffle control and speed control.
• Duration: 1 hour, 45 minutes

• Study time: 8 hours, 45 minutes

4. Control of Electrical Machines

• Language: English
• Course objective: The objective of this course is to impart knowledge on the control of electrical machines.
• Course content: In the e-learning on field-oriented control, we look at some basic physical concepts (torque, electromagnetic force) and consider them in relation to the DC motor. This also includes torque control. Discussing field-oriented control then allows us to understand how to incorporate this concept into electric control. We then move on to actually focus on electrical machines as controlled systems as well as the inverter as a control actuator. A short outlook on other machine types is also included.
• Duration: 3 hours

5. Measurement Technology Using Strain Gauges – Basic Course

• Language: English, German
• Course objective: The aim of this basic course is to be able to perform a measurement with strain gauges. This course forms the basis for the advanced course.
• Course content: The e-learning course starts with an introduction to the subject, which enables newcomers and career changers to get to know all the important terms and contexts. It then covers the basic physics relevant to understanding how a strain gauge works as well as how to measure with it.

This is followed by a detailed discussion of the Wheatstone bridge, which is important for making measurements with strain gauges. This is followed by a discussion of how strain gauges must be positioned in order to measure certain physical quantities and the types of designs that result. At the end, it is explained how to install electrical foil strain gauges.
