Head of laboratory: doc. Ing. Jaroslav Petráš, PhD.
The laboratory is used for teaching and research purposes. Laboratory exercises and consultations for bachelor’s and engineering students at the Department of Electrical Power Engineering take place here. The teaching equipment is mainly focused on automated wiring technology and systems such as the KNX / EIB system, the use of database systems in the field of power engineering, diagnostic methods in the field of high voltage insulation systems and other areas of power engineering in which computing is required. The laboratory is equipped with 12 student client stations and one teacher’s computer station. The laboratory is supplemented by a modern interactive presentation technique in the form of an interactive touch panel enabling face-to-face teaching as well as a remote form of presentation and teaching and a wide-angle projector with a scanning camera for scanning printed materials.
