The Electrical Machines I laboratory at the Isfahan University of Technology is a well-equipped laboratory for both teaching and research activities. The purpose of this lab is to give students hands-on experience in AC and DC machines.
The main objectives of Electrical Machines lab I
- To learn more about major types of DC generators and to study the output characteristics of these generators,
- To learn more about major types of DC motors and to study the output characteristics of these motors,
- To study single-phase transformers’ parameter identification
- To investigate starting and speed control methods of three-phase induction motors, both squirrel cage and wound rotor.
