Synopsis

Practical guide to designing electric machines for students and early designers

This book provides a clear method for designing direct-current dynamos and highlights the fundamental principles behind practical electrical design. It blends theory with hands‑on considerations, showing how engineers balance performance, cost, and manufacturability in real projects. The text emphasizes that good design rests on sound mechanical and electrical choices and that a successful machine results from careful, informed compromises.

The volume focuses on direct-current dynamics and covers how to select speed, decide on multipolar versus bipolar constructions, and determine the right number of poles. It includes practical examples, detailed illustrations, and design data drawn from actual machines. A notable feature is a worked design example that describes a 300-kilowatt, 125-volt generator, illustrating the step-by-step calculations used in engineering practice.
What you’ll experience

• How to choose speed, poles, and geometry to meet performance goals
• Real-world design reasoning, including how to handle radiating heat and material limits
• Detailed diagrams and sample winding layouts that show construction ideas
• A thorough case study: the process of designing a large direct-current generator from first principles

Ideal for readers of engineering cores and technicians who want a solid foundation in electrical machine design, this edition aims to build practical skills that can be applied in the lab, workshop, or classroom.
