Synopsis

This revision of the classic text on electric machines has been updated to include extensive coverage of permanent magnet machines and variable reluctance machines. This market leader continues the philosophy of previous editions by maintaining its solid presentation of fundamental physical principles of machinery operation as well as the techniques required to model and analyze them. It also features a wide variety of new end-of-chapter problems and additional examples.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Each chapter includes quantitative examples to illustrate important concepts. Practice problems with solutions accompany many of the examples for further reinforcement. These features have been clearly illuminated through the design to make it easy for both instructors and students to locate them.
A new chapter on power electronics introduces the basic components of power electronics as well as typical circuit configurations for rectification and inversion that are found in modern motor drives.
A new chapter on speed and torque control of dc and ac motors has also been added. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of motor drives for dc and ac machines and includes a discussion of the technique of field-oriented control, which is widely used in modern drive systems.
The chapter on single- and two-phase motors now includes a generalized analytical formulation for unsymmetrical two-phase induction machines. This formulation is then applied to the general case of a single-phase induction motor running off both its main and auxiliary winding. This formulation is unique to Electric Machinery and is not found in other text books.
The popular interactive computer software MATLAB has been introduced in the new edition in both examples and practice problems. In addition, chapter problems have been added which specifically require the use of MATLAB. An icon has been placed in the margin to indicate those places where MATLAB is used.
A website for this book will include a downloadable version of the solutions manual, password-protected for instructors. The website will also serve as a source for additional examples, problems and MATLAB examples. It will also contain a set of PowerPoint slides of figures from the book for instructors to use in their lectures.

Synopsis:

A text designed for undergraduate electric machinery courses in departments of electrical or mechanical engineering. This edition includes new material on permanent magnets, reluctance motors and brushless motors. More examples and new problem-solving exercises are also featured.
