Course detail
Electrical Installations
FEKT-MEICAcad. year: 2016/2017
The main idea of the course is to introduce the students to the procedures of designing and realizing safe, harmless electrical installation in civic utility buildings. The course is oriented towards developing the students‘ practical skills.
Supervisor
Learning outcomes of the course unit
Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to perform the following tasks:
- describe distribution networks in the Czech Republic,
- define the conditions of electricity supply in the Czech Republic,
- determine the method for realizing electrical installation in a civic amenities building,
- specify the technique of protecting the power line against overcurrent,
- determine the method of protection against electric shock,
- define the risk of damage by lightning,
- select a lightning protection system,
- select a system of protective measures against an electromagnetic pulse,
- specify a method for the realization of fire-safe electrical installation.
Prerequisites
Students wishing to enroll in the course are expected to be capable of applying Kirchhoff’s and Ohm’s laws, and they should be able to analyze the circuits in a three-phase system.
