Asynchronous Machines: Basic Calculation Elements from Field Equations

This book attempts to eliminate the existing “imbalance” between the theory of electric machines and the theory of electromagnetic fields. In order to develop viable methods for engineering calculations, the author applies field equations. The resulting, new methods consist of traditional calculation elements represented in a refined form (circuit-loops, parameters, equivalent circuits and voltage equations). These calculation methods should be effective both for researchers and engineering practitioners, especially, in relation to the modern electric machines, such as powerful turbine generators, large high-speed synchronous motors, etc. 

Dr. Valentin Asanbayev was born in Russia in 1939.  He graduated from Kiev Polytechnic Institute (Ukraine) in 1966.  From 1966 to 1995, he worked at the National Academy of Science of Ukraine (Institute of Electrodynamics), dealing with problems related to the research and development of powerful turbine generators.  The last position he held was the leading research fellow.  In 1995, he immigrated to the United States.
