Electrical machines learning and training in One2One project

This paper describes induction motors learning as an important component of electric engineering education. Based on a few years experience this study introduces a new concept of learning in the training field. This concept is implemented by One2One Project. Because teaching in this field relies on electricity and magnetism, energy conversion, AC circuit, measurement method and concepts as well as applied power engineering, students in graduate educational programs find the topics cross-disciplinary, practical, and motivational. The intention of One2one project is double: on one hand, to bring closer the needs of the companies to schools and, on the other hand, to improve the pedagogical methodology. This type of project is allowing teachers to pay attention to each singular student, and concerning about their own personal learning rhythms. In the present project, the student is going to know the component's parts of the induction machines and operating principals. Based on this, the student is going to identify an induction machine from the details on the machine rating label the terminal board, connect the motor according to a circuit diagram and operate the motor for recording the nominal performance values, calculate specified variables, using given formulae and measured values and draw the load characteristic curves from the obtained values. The student will indicate the value of nominal torque on the characteristic curves and comment the shape of the characteristic curves.
