Understand how to design and analyze alternating-current generators and synchronous motors with practical, step-by-step methods.

This self‑instruction guide is written for designers who already know the basics of electricity and magnetism. It presents design techniques drawn from real machines and includes data and dimensions from established practices. The book is organized to cover both alternating-current machines and related direct-current topics, with questions that reinforce key points after each section.

Readers will gain concrete methods for deciding materials, building the armature and magnet system, and evaluating losses, regulation, and performance. The text emphasizes how to carry out calculations, interpret test data, and translate design ideas into manufacturable parts.

Practical design methods for the armature, magnetic field, and cooling considerations.
Step-by-step approaches to open-circuit and short-circuit characteristics, regulation, and efficiency.
Guidance on sizing, winding arrangements, and data needed to evaluate a machine’s performance.
Worked examples and end-of-section questions to test understanding and readiness for real projects.

Ideal for engineering students, designers, and technicians working with alternating-current machines.
