Course Description

Stephen Brooks is a Chartered Electrical engineer who has worked in the electrical power utility industry for over 30 years as a design engineer, commissioning engineer and construction project manager.

This module has been written to teach non-engineers the basics of electrical power engineering, and will also act as a useful revision tool for electrical graduate engineers or those engineers new to the industry.

The course uses detailed illustrations & simple explanations to convey the topics involved.

Future modules will develop these basic engineering ideas further and use them to show how an electrical power utility system is designed, constructed, tested and operated.

The course was very help full .In my case as an experienced electrician i managed to relate and get to understand more clearly in the practical world. And i hope to get series of this course.

It was good. However, for Alternating current lesson, I think it was going to make things better if it was specified which configuration, star or delta, was used for deriving phase and line current/voltages, equations.

The course was good, great in fact. I learned and relearned a lot and I hope to continue to my net course and that it would be more fun relearning what I know and learning what I don't know. Thank You.

This was really useful and straight forward. I had to refresh my memory as I finished University 10 years ago and haven't been using my qualifications since last year as a junior engineer. This helped me a lot to remember and same time gave me lot of confidence. Thank you for this lovely course.

Very dry. Entirely made of Powerpoint slides. Only theory, but not the kind of theory which gives you understanding. Just lots of facts. So it is a bit like learning / reading a phone book. The facts don't feel connected to anything. For example, in the final module we learned about 3 types of power, but what does that even mean? Which power is the kind of power which makes wheels turn and lights light?

I feel like I has a hard time understanding all the vocabulary terms and distinguishing from each other. Definitely will have to take extra hours to learn and study. the last 2 videos just got me more confused with the equations. Maybe because I have not studied trigonometry before.

A very good lecture

Very nice presentation of AC and DC fundamentals.

By Dillon Henshaw on 10/5/2020

A little fast, but very well put together

By Cosmin Luta on 10/2/2020

Much "what", little "why".

By Sibusiso Mthembu on 9/27/2020

The course was explained well.

By Nancy OConnor on 9/27/2020

This is really good for beginners like me. Especially learning new terminology.
