Course overview and goals

Electrical equipment design is a subject that embodies the economical and rapid fabrication of equipment with performance that meets the intended use. Since more than half of the world's electrical energy is consumed through electrical equipment, high energy efficiency is required in the design of electrical equipment from an environmental perspective. To achieve this, in addition to the electrical knowledge of electromagnetism and electrical equipment that students have already learned, knowledge of heat transfer engineering, fluid engineering, material mechanics, and other non-electrical knowledge and knowledge of electrical equipment fabrication are required. Therefore, in this lecture, students will first learn the fundamentals of electrical equipment, including structure, fabrication methods, material selection, cooling methods, temperature calculations, and magnetic circuit calculations. After that, students learn design methods of single-phase transformers and induction motors as examples of stationary equipment and rotating machines, and practice designing them. Finally, students learn the basics of drafting, aiming to understand the contents of drawings actually used in practice.

Course description and aims

In this lecture, the following points will be covered in terms of design and drawing of various types of electrical equipment.
1) To be able to explain basic structures, materials used, and operating principles of transformers and rotating machines from the viewpoint of design.
2) To be able to explain technical matters (heat transfer, mechanical strength, ventilation, etc.) other than electrical systems that are necessary in the design of electrical equipment.
2) Explain technical matters other than electrical systems (heat transfer, mechanical strength, ventilation, etc.) required in electrical equipment design.
3) To be able to perform practical basic design of single-phase transformers and induction machines.
4) Understand the basics of drafting and be able to read basic drawings.

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.
