Electrical Machines

Introduction

Electrical Machines


    Electrical machines convert energy existing in one form to another, usable, form. These machines can broadly be divided into three categories: generators, motors and transformers. Generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy, and transformers change the voltage level in ac system and are considered to be the backbone of a power system.

    Electrical machines play an important role in domestic appliances, commercial devices and industrial applications. It is important for students of electrical and electronics engineering to learn the basic concepts of transformers, motors, generators and magnetic circuits. This book explains the design of transformers, decoding of generators and performance of electrical motors through descriptive illustrations, solved examples and mathematical derivations. Construction, working principles and applications of various electrical machines are discussed in detail. In addition, it offers an engrossing discussion on special purpose machines, which is useful from an industrial prospective in building customized machines. The text contains hundreds of worked examples and illustrations and more than a thousand self-assessment exercises. It is an ideal textbook for undergraduate students of electrical and electronics engineering.
