Objectives

The objective of this course is to present the electromagnetic phenomena with their energetic aspects and to show how to pass, starting from the fundamental concepts of electromagnetism, to the design of an electric machine. This approach is presented on the example of the synchronous machine and illustrated by the various uses of this machine. This approach will be generalized to other types of electric motors in order to design electrical models that can be used for speed variation.
