Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Students will participate face to face in
•Classroom tutorial activities to consolidate the following theory:
•The operation principle of Three phase and Single phase AC system
•Transformers construction and operation
•The concepts of Electrical Energy transmission
•LV distribution systems
•Practical activities to develop skill in using computer software to numerically evaluate various underground cable parameters and simulate single and three phase problems. Develop testing procedure to verify the performance, diagnosis and debug of faults in the program.
•Work simulation projects focus in technical leadership activities, which include: team building, identify team member’s work task, clear and concise dissemination of ideas and information, planning and organising work to meet quality standards, time-line, personnel requirements and contingencies. Demonstrate leadership characteristic, such as: conflict resolution and problem solving, ability to conduct and participate in meetings, keeping records and documenting tasks.
Project may be undertaken as part of a team or individual basis.
