Course overview and goals

Electrical equipment design is a subject that embodies the ability to produce equipment of the performance that is appropriate for use economically and in a short period of time. Because more than half of the world's electrical energy is consumed through electrical equipment, electrical equipment design requires high energy efficiency from environmental considerations. In order to achieve this, it is required to know not only the knowledge already-studied in electrical engineering, such as electromagnetism and electrical machines, but also other knowledge in thermal and fluid dynamics, material mechanics, and so on. Therefore, at first, this course teaches the fundamental contents such as electric machine structures, manufacturing process, material selection, cooling technique, thermal estimation, magnetic characteristics, and so on. After that, it also provides the design procedures and exercises of single-phase transformers and induction motor as the examples of stationary and rotating machines. Finally, the fundamentals of technical drawings will be presented for the students to understand the design intent in design drawings and circuit diagrams.

Course description and aims

The aim of this course is to have the following abilities:
1) To understand and explain the basic structures, materials, and principles of electric machines from the design point of view.
2) To understand and explain not only electrical theories but also heat transfer, mechanical strength, ventilation, and so on regarding electric machine design.
3) To perform a practical design regarding single-phase transformers and induction motors.
4) To interpret design drawings and circuit diagrams with understanding the fundamentals in technical drawing.

Class flow

This course presents the fundamentals required to the electric machine design, practical design procedures, basic technical drawings, new technology for high-performance and miniaturized electric machines using numerical analysis, using textbooks and other materials for distribution. And a lecture style will be face to face or ZOOM. After the completion of the 9th lecture (design of Transformers) and the 13th lecture (Induction machine design), the design of transformers and induction motors is carried out and requested to be submitted in the form of reports.

Course schedule/Objectives

Study advice (preparation and review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Keichi Hirose, Hideo Sumitani, Ohmsya, (ISBN 978-4-88686-262-4)

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Some required documents will be distributed in the class, except for the textbook.

Evaluation methods and criteria

Grading depends on reports designing a transformer (20%) and an induction motor (80%).
