Instrumentation

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The scope of this course includes the study of materials, technologies and test equipment used in Electrical Engineering. The fundamental concepts of Metrology are also taught, with corresponding practical application, through a strong laboratory component. The need to use Metrology thus arises naturally throughout the work developed. This curricular unit is a subject that will serve as a basis for all further curricular developments.
• ProgramaProgramme

  Fundamental Concepts and International Vocabulary of Metrology - System (VIM); Elementary definitions of error, uncertainty, units and patterns, presentation of results; Elementary physical nodes: Resistances, nominal value, variation, tolerance, Joule's law and power dissipation; Star-triangle transformation; Resistive sensors; Power supplies (association of sources); Typical elementary circuits, voltage and current dividers; Kirchhoff laws; Alternating quantities/current Measurement Systems and Methods. Measuring Instruments; Static Response; Sensitivity; Gain; Resolution; Linearity; Nominal Range; Zero drift; Hysteresis; General characteristics of instruments. Identification and symbology of instruments Increased measurement range of a measuring apparatus. Analog and Digital Oscilloscope; Frequency meter; Períodmeter; Fasimeter; Measuring Bridges; Reflectrometry; Power Measurements in Single-Phase and Three-Phase Systems.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  This unit aims to obtain skills in the areas of materials, technologies and test and measurement equipment. The fundamental concepts of Metrology are taught, through a strong practical/laboratory component, Thus, and because it is a unit where general/fundamental, theoretical and practical principles are taught, it will serve as the basis for all further curricular developments. The key skills to be developed are: Familiarization with the materials and components used in Electrical Engineering, and with the concepts of Metrology; Knowledge of component manufacturing technologies, their ranges, precisions and tolerances; Familiarization with typical test equipment in the area: multimeters, signal generators, oscilloscopes, etc; Familiarization with laboratory techniques and procedures;

• MetodologiaMethodology

  During the theoretical classes, the contents of the program are presented, using presentations based on devices and case studies, stimulating discussion between students and teachers. The contents are also developed within the scope of experimental protocols in practical classes and by the use of simulation software
