Principles of Electrical Design covers how to design and analyze DC and AC generators for practical, real‑world use.
This comprehensive reference helps engineers and students understand the core ideas behind magnet circuits, windings, losses, and performance in a clear, application‑driven way.
This edition emphasizes practical design methods, showing how theory translates into usable calculations, with numerical examples and step‑by‑step approaches to common design challenges. It balances foundational concepts with hands‑on guidance for creating reliable, efficient generators.
- Magnetic circuits, flux, and leakage in both DC and AC machines
- Armature windings, slot insulation, and current density considerations
- Commutation, brushs, shocks, and methods to prevent sparking
- Regulation, efficiency, cooling, and temperature rise in field and armature windings
Ideal for readers of technical design handbooks and anyone designing or evaluating electrical generators.
