Laboratory exercises in EMC course

Abstract

Undegraduate EMC course for tlectrical engineering profession was established in Leningrad shipbuilding institute (now -Leningrad State University of Ocean Technology) in 1987. The course includes 51 hours lectures and 34 hours laboratory experiaents. The students have t o carry 10 labs on original equipment. Individuality, coupling of labs, comparison of experiments and calculation, "making by hands' are basic principles t o increase effeciency of training. The students have to defend their conclusions based on experiments, calculations and personal computer simulation. ERC course Electrical engineer's education in Leningrad State University of Ocean Technology includes ERC course. The students study EHC on the 9-th semester for E5 hours. They have t o learn fumdamental principles of electrical circuits, electrical. systems, electronics, converters before this course.The outline of t h e course is t h e following: Generation of pulse voltages, noise and harmonics in electrical systems. Propagation of voltage pulses and noise in ships. Design for ERC (filtering, placement of cables and equipment, shielding, grounding etc.). Reasurerents. Testing. Standards and ERC requiraents.Effeciency of ERC training depends on quantity and quality of laboratory exersises. The students have to feel reality of pulse and noise generation, susceptibility of electronic equipment. Ten labs help the students to acquire the skill in measuring, testing, noise suppression and protection.
