This course introduces the theory of magnetic circuits, transformers and electromagnetic energy conversion and applies these fundamental principles to systems which rely on them. Topics considered may include three phase circuits, magnetic circuits, transformers, electromechanical energy conversion, transmission lines, introductory electric machines and power systems.

Objectives At the conclusion of this course students will be able to:
- Understand the theory necessary to understand and analyse magnetic circuits.
- Understand the principles of electromagnetic energy conversion.
- Be able to extend the fundamental theory to explain the operating principles of and to model:
o Transformers;
o Rotating machines;
o Relays and solenoids; and
o Transmission lines.
- Combine elements into a complete system and perform elementary analysis on the system as a whole.
