Prerequisite: None as instructor started out with basics however EE-111 knowledge would be useful.

Course Content:

• Induction motor- structure, working and equivalent circuit modelling
• AC drives- working and control concepts of PWM and space vector modulation
• DC to DC converters – buck, boost and flyback convertor
• State space modelling

Lectures:

Lectures were pretty easy to follow and explained really well. Way of teaching was blackboard based and sometimes aid of simulation was taken to make lectures interesting. Instructor was keen in generating interest among the students.

Assignments and Tutorials:

No tutorials and assignments as such, however problems and previous exam papers were uploaded before the exams.
