Technical reading/writing assignment
During the course of your EETN program, you will be learning about different electrical and electronic components/circuits. None of these devices, however would function without actually having electricity available!
For the following subjects, write a description to a moderate understanding level of these power generating units.
Explain AC generator construction including a description of the following components:
Armature & field assembly
Stator
Rotor
Brush assembly
Slip rings
Explain DC generator construction including a description of the following components:
Armature & field assembly
Stator
Rotor
Brush assembly
Commutator
What is a static inverter?
How does it function?
Input voltage type
Output voltage type
For an electronic circuit with delicate components such as BJT transistors, FETs and integrated circuits (ICs): which component offers the greatest protection? Fuse or circuit breaker…why?
And finally, an opinion question: Who was the better inventor; Edison or Nikola Tesla? Why?
For this assignment,
During your research, read accurately avoiding inferences and assumptions.
Assess the appropriateness of documentation sources. (ex: is Wikipedia a recognized source for technical writing?).
Effectively use NSCC library databases and other sources of research information as required.
Properly document sources using acceptable style guides (APA, MLA, etc.). https://guides.lib.uw.edu/research/citations/citationwhich
Properly cite to respect intellectual property.
