Learning Outcomes

Learning in this course will enable the student to acquire knowledge and develop skills related to the analysis, modeling and implementation
of sinusoidal alternating current (AC) circuits, single and three phase, as well as the measurement of the electrical quantities in these
circuits. Being able to achieve the following objectives:
OB1 - Characterization of time-varying quantities, with special emphasis on sinusoidal alternating quantities.
OB2 - Characterization of the components of the sinusoidal AC circuits.
OB3 - Operation of the component sinusoidal AC circuits and their associations.
OB4 - Methods for the analysis of single-phase AC sinusoidal circuits.
OB5 - Implementation and testing of single phase AC circuits.
OB6 - Operation of analogue instrumentation and measurement of time-varying quantities.
OB7 - Techniques for measuring time-varying electrical quantities.
OB8 - Analysis of the operation of three phase AC circuits.
