The aim of this lecture is to convey knowledge in the following areas:

• Most important functional groups of electrical drive systems
• Describing the movement process of a drive in time
• Project planning for electric drives based on the operating mode or load cycle
• Power electronic circuit technology for DC and AC drives
• Modelling of conventional drives with direct current and three-phase asynchronous machines as well as describing of the stationary operating behaviour
• Modelling of converter-fed drives with direct current and three-phase asynchronous machines as well as describing of the stationary operating behaviour
• Circuit technology for DC and AC drives with regard to starting, speed setting/speed control and braking

The following content is presented:

• Development of electrical drive technology
• Recent development trends
• Functional groups of electrical drive systems
• Stationary description of working machines
• Operating modes according to DIN EN 60034-1
• Fundamentals of drive configuration
• Three-phase transformers in drive systems
• Conventional DC drives
• DC converter drives
• Fundamental field conditions and behaviour of the three-phase asynchronous machine with squirrel-cage and slip-ring rotor
• Conventional AC drives with three-phase asynchronous machines
• AC inverter-fed drives with three-phase asynchronous machines
