Synopsis

Explore how electrical machines convert power and how engineers analyze and optimize them. This title surveys the construction, operation, and practical use of generators, motors, and related equipment. It explains windings, cores, and the way multiple phases create smooth, reliable power. It also covers how electrical quantities interact in AC circuits, including resistance, inductance, and capacitance, with diagrams and worked examples.

The material guides you from the fundamentals of magnetic fields and control to real-world devices. You’ll see how alternators generate power with rotating fields, how single-, two-, and three-phase machines differ, and how vector diagrams help predict performance. The coverage includes practical problems that illustrate current, voltage, efficiency, and power factor in motors and generators, plus the basics of transformers and line theory.


  • Fundamental concepts of magnetism, induction, and machine construction (stator, rotor, windings).

  • How different phase configurations affect voltage, current, and power delivery.

  • Techniques for calculating impedance, resonance, and power in AC circuits.

  • Practical insights into efficiency, regulation, and the factors influencing performance.



Ideal for readers seeking a clear, hands-on introduction to electrical machines and their practical design and operation.
