Advanced Electro-technology JNE311

Introduction

This unit provides students with the theoretical knowledge required to solve practical problems encountered in marine electrical engineering. The unit focuses on solving both DC and AC electrical circuit problems. It also covers magnetic circuits and power generation theory. A student completing this unit will be able to apply the knowledge gained to calculate power requirements for ships installations such as generators and transformers. Students will be able to understand the theory applied to RL, RC and RLC circuits. The unit will instil knowledge required to manage the electrical power plant of a ship from a management level perspective. This unit meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime Training Package MAR60120, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A- III/2 of the STCW code.

Note

Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
