Hybrid seminar - Electric drives for mechanical and automotive engineers

Electric drives for mechanical and automotive engineers

This tried-and-tested seminar is designed as a beginner's seminar for employees in mechanical and vehicle engineering from non-electrical professions. The basics of electrical engineering are taught in the introduction on day 1, followed on both days by a systematic overview of the various electrical drives such as commutator machines, synchronous machines, asynchronous machines, linear and multi-coordinate drives as well as an introduction to the basic principles of electronic circuits and the use of actuators. Finally, in the afternoon of the 2nd day, parallel in-depth topics on power electronics, small machines as well as medium and large machines will be offered.

On the topic

Digitalisation, networking, electrification and internationalisation are creating new challenges for the drive technology sector and, with the trend topic of electromobility, are bringing about profound changes in the fields of drive technology and production technology in mechanical engineering. The 2-day seminar provides an introduction to the field of drive technology with basic knowledge and is aimed at specialised personnel from non-electrical engineering professions in mechanical engineering and vehicle construction. It is aimed in particular at design engineers, safety specialists and employees in production preparation, production, logistics or sales.

Objective

The seminar offers a well-founded overview and systematic introduction to the structure, functional principle and operating behaviour of all economically significant types of electric drive systems.

Participants

Specialised personnel from non-electrical professions who wish to acquire basic knowledge in the field of drive technology. The course is aimed in particular at design engineers, safety specialists and employees in production preparation, production, logistics or sales. Participants should have knowledge of the fundamentals of electrical engineering (e.g. by attending the Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering seminar).
