Master the essentials of electrical machinery with a clear physical view. This classic text presents the phenomena behind dynamos, motors, and power systems in a straightforward way. Emphasis is on understanding how machines work, not just applying formulas, so readers build a solid intuition before diving into math.
Each chapter guides you from basic concepts to how machines behave in real circuits. The author favors a physical picture of actions in electrical machinery, helping students and practitioners reason through problems and avoid common misconceptions. The material is suitable as an introductory text for those who do not intend to pursue engineering as a profession, as well as a foundation for more advanced study.
- Foundational ideas on electricity, magnetism, and magnetic circuits.
- How electric motors and generators operate, including their key components and behaviors.
- Methods of excitation, regulation, and practical considerations for various machine types.
- Guidance on applying theory to real designs and problem solving in electrical engineering.
Ideal for readers of introductory electrical engineering, engineering students, and professionals seeking a clear, practical grounding in dynamo and motor principles.
