Description

This is a free course created to give you a clear sample of my teaching style and technical approach.

In a short and practical way, I introduce the most common faults in electrical motors, with a focused look at air-gap eccentricity faults. You will learn what eccentricity really means, why it happens, and how it affects electromagnetic behavior such as torque ripple and unbalanced magnetic forces. we will have 2 parts, brief ppt and then live simulation in ANSYS Maxwell(Ansys Electronics Desktop).

The explanations are engineering-oriented, visual, and based on physical understanding, not heavy equations. I also show how electromagnetic simulation can be used to model eccentricity faults and analyze their effects.

If this way of teaching is useful for you and you want to go further, feel free to email me. I’ll help you choose the most relevant next course or training path and offer you the best available price, based on your goals.

This course is also designed as a quick preview of my teaching method, so you can decide if this learning style fits you before moving on to more advanced topics. feel free to contact via email or LinkedIn for more information or suggesting new free contents.
