• be able to design an electrical system with respect to capacity and limits.

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to do calculations for electrical power systems,
• be able to make relevant measurements for three-phase systems,
• be able to do certain calculations for high voltage systems.

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• show insight into various types of electric energy production and distribution,
• have gained the self confidence to make certain measurements and calculations on an electric power system.
