Materials and Technology for Power Electrical Engineering

The course is a substitute for:

Materials and Technology for Power Electrical Engineering (X13MTV)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Electrotechnology

Synopsis:

The course is focused on materials for electrical engineering and technology of their processing in electrical products with emphasis on the area of power electrotechnics. Materials for conductors, superconductors, dielectrics, insulators, semiconductors and magnetic materials will be presented including their properties. Influence of pureness, structure and processing of materials on their properties and basic technologies, which are used for their transformation in typical products for electrical engineering. Aging of materials and influence of aging on properties of materials is also presented
