Direct-and Alternating-Current Machine Design Being Instructions for the Design of Motors and Generators (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A practical, calculation‑focused guide to designing alternating generators and synchronous motors for real machines.
This edition walks engineers through the key concepts and step‑by‑step design considerations for large electrical machines. It combines theoretical rules with worked examples, showing how to size windings, determine flywheel effects, and assess slot and wire geometry. The text emphasizes how losses, efficiency, and practical constraints shape a robust machine design.
Readers will gain a framework for balancing magnetic, mechanical, and electrical factors—from winding layouts and pole counts to output characteristics and performance curves. The material is geared toward engineers seeking actionable methods grounded in established practice.
- How wheel diameter and flywheel effects are chosen to satisfy mechanical and electrical requirements.
- Methods for evaluating winding space, slot dimensions, copper Losses, and iron losses.
- Understanding efficiency, constant vs. variable losses, and how to read test curves to predict performance.
- Guidance on designing for different loads, overload capacity, and excitation considerations.
Ideal for practicing engineers, designers, and students working on synchronous machines, alternators, and related rotating electrical equipment.

Direct-and Alternating-Current Machine Design Being Instructions for the Design
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of designing direct and alternating-current machinery, offering a comprehensive guide for self-instruction. The author assumes a foundational understanding of electricity, magnetism, and the operational theory of electrical machines, allowing for a direct focus on the practical aspects of design. Grounded in real-world applications, the design methods presented are enriched by data and dimensions from machines built by leading American and European companies. The book is neatly divided into two parts, each dedicated to the design of direct-current and alternating-current machines, respectively. Following each part, a series of questions reinforces key points and encourages a deeper understanding of the material. The author meticulously explores the various components of dynamos and motors, beginning with the armature ΓΆβ β the heart of the machine where electrical energy is generated or absorbed. The discussion then moves on to the field magnet, which produces the magnetic field essential for operation, and the mechanical elements that support these electrical and magnetic processes. Through clear explanations and practical examples, the book equips aspiring designers with the knowledge to create efficient and reliable electrical machines. The insights gained from this book remain invaluable for understanding the principles and practices that underpin the design of electrical machinery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
