Clinical Engineering

This course explains the fundamental methods for the analysis of single and three phase circuits, the operating principle and operating characteristics of the main electrical machinery and criteria and design methods of lines for transmission and distribution of electricity. Particular emphasis is given to those aspects and applications of intersection with the normal activities of a clinical engineer. After completing this course the student will have a basic preparation that will enable understanding of the phenomena associated with the generation, transmission and use of electricity and will be able to evaluate the performance of the main electrical machinery, in relation to specific needs and know the major problems associated with their use.
