Description of Electric Machines

Designed to serve as a textbook for a single semester undergraduate course on electromechanical energy conversion devices or electric machines, Electric Machines strikes a balance between theoretical coverage, easy explanations, and practical applications, presenting real world applications of concepts without compromising on the rigor or the continuity of the text.

The book provides excellent readability, in a conversational style, combined with invaluable industry insight. The accompanying website provides problems solved in MATLAB, SPICE simulations, manufacturing data, as well as additional problems for students and instructors.

The basic elements (resistors, inductors, and capacitors) are each illustrated with more than 10 highlights with emphasis placed on their practical aspects.

The various forms of power (complex, apparent, real, and reactive) are introduced including the concepts of actual and apparent power factor. Examples are given with actual utility penalties for low-power factor operation.

The generation and effects of harmonics are also discussed. For easy understanding, KVL is illustrated by using exercises from electronic circuits.

The section on magnetism discusses the concepts and applications of induction currents, magnetic equivalent circuits, and the force produced by electromagnets.
