Marine Electrical Machines – II for Marine Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech 4th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Marine Electrical Machines – II B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To expose the students to the concepts about Electricity production, measurements, cable faults and AC Machines used in Marine engineering.
UNIT I : ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS AND CONTROL SYSTEM [8 hours]
Induction type energy meters-megger (Basic construction & principles of operation only).– Single phase and three phase wattmeter for power measurement – Measurement of energy, speed, frequency and phase difference – Measurement of resistance, inductance and capacitance by Bridge method – Magnetic measurement. Location of cable faults – transducers and its application in the measurement of pressure, flow, temperature, Torque, Humidity, Water content etc – simple electronic measuring devices – CRO, IC tester, Signal generator, Timers, Multi Tester, Clamp meter-Principle of operation and Application of Automatic control system-PID controller etc.,
UNIT II : ALTERNATORS [11 hours]
Alternators – general arrangement – construction of salient pole and cylindrical rotor types – types of stator windings – e.m.f equation – distribution and pitch factor –waveform of e.m.f. generated – rotating magnetic field – armature reaction – voltage regulation – load characteristics – open circuit and short circuit tests – e.m.f and m.m.f. methods – parallel operation of alternators – KW and KVA sharing – Brushless alternator – static excitation system.
UNIT III : SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS [5 hours]
Principle of operation of 3-phase synchronous motor. – operation of infinite bus bars torque/angle characteristics – hunting – methods of starting – merits and limits of synchronous motor over others.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES: After completing the course the students should have the knowledge of
- The procedure for producing electricity on board ships through alternators and associated controls
- To measure the power method of finding cable faults.
- Design features of Alternators – their construction and operation
- Principles of operation and construction details of synchronous motors, induction machines
- Speed control and trouble shooting in induction machines.
