A photo of laboratory room A-113.1 taken from the corner. There are experimental setups on the three double tables. Four PC workstations can be seen on the left under the window and there are cabinets on the right wall, some with glass panes. In the background, the projector is projecting light onto the wall.

Profile

A photo of a woman sitting in front of an experimental setup. She is operating a voltmeter with her right hand. Behind the voltmeters are four lamps, one of which is lit. An oscilloscope can be seen in the background.

Practical training is of great importance when studying electrical engineering and energy management. Right from the start of the course, metrological investigations accompany and deepen the course content.

Frequency-selective voltage divider: Switching with frequencies.

The Laboratory for Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering has a large number of modern, high-quality measuring devices and circuit elements. These include digital storage oscilloscopes, power meters, frequency analyzers and precision voltage and current meters. These are used in the early stages of the course to familiarize students with basic circuits and measurement methods.

Magnetic circuit & hysteresis loops

Modern calculation and simulation software is used in parallel. Computer workstations are available for this purpose, which also enable direct processing of the measured values. This gives our students the opportunity to compare simulations directly with measurements.

A photo of an experimental setup. A sweep generator feeds a voltage divider with a parallel resonant circuit. In front of the generator there is an R decade, a coil with a parallel C decade plus a diode and another capacitor to smooth the voltage. There is an oscilloscope in the background.

This creates a close link to practice and deepens the understanding of the system behavior of electrical and electronic circuits. The correct use of measurement methods and measuring devices becomes an integral and important part of the training.
