ELEC 102 Alternating Current, Polyphase Circuits and Transformers

Prerequisite: ELEC 101 with a C or better; AMATH 112 with a C or better or MATH 090 with a C or better or qualifying score on Math Placement Test (recommended)
2 hrs lectures; 2 hrs lab; 3 hrs credit
This is a fundamental course in alternating current theory and analysis. Students will analyze circuits that include series and parallel configuration of resistance, inductance and capacitance. The analysis will include vector operations, complex impedance, phase angles, single- and three-phase representations, Delta and Wye circuits, measurements and power relationships. This course includes the study of the principles of transformer operation including load conditions, efficiency and testing.
