- An understanding of the relation between rotor speed, rotor pole number, and frequency;
- An understanding of power plant types, based on their different fuel sources;
- An appreciation for the differences between power production in an advanced country (USA) versus the situation in an emerging country (India);
- An appreciation for the current state of nuclear power in the USA;
- An understanding of the terms peak, root-mean-square, line-to-neutral, and line-to-line voltages;
- An understanding of the source of power oscillations in AC distribution systems;
- An understanding of the factors used to compute average power transferred in a three phase distribution system;
- An understanding of the means used to measure voltage and current in the distribution system
