(3-2-4) Provide an understanding of AC and DC circuits which can be used to make simplified models of fleet systems. Circuits of ideal resistors, capacitors, inductors and sources are analyzed to predict steady state and first order transient voltage, current, and power characteristics. Principles of operation and analysis techniques for ideal transformers are also covered.  Laboratory exercises employ standard measurement equipment found in the fleet to compare and contrast theoretical prediction with real circuit performance.
