Synopsis

Brushless permanent-magnet motors provide simple, low maintenance, and easily controlled mechanical power. Written by two leading experts on the subject, this book offers the most comprehensive guide to the design and performance of brushless permanent-magnetic motors ever written. Topics range from electrical and magnetic design to materials and control. Throughout, the authors stress both practical and theoretical aspects of the subject, and relate the material to modern software-based techniques for design and analysis. As new magnetic materials and digital power control techniques continue to widen the scope of the applicability of such motors, the need for an authoritative overview of the subject becomes ever more urgent. Design of Brushless Permanent-Magnet Motors fits the bill and will be read by students and researchers in electric and electronic engineering.
