Print on Demand. This book provides an introduction to the theory of single-phase commutator motors, showing how to calculate the characteristics of any electric machine, as well as the distribution of current, flux, and EMF within it. It examines the key types of single-phase motor, their characteristics, and the different methods available for varying their speed. The author's method of study is based on the symbolic representation of Steinmetz and avoids the use of more complicated and less effective geometrical constructions. The author places particular focus on elliptical field and current distributions, an area often overlooked by other writers on the subject. The theoretical understanding developed throughout the book provides a foundation for practical design concepts, making this a valuable resource for researchers, advanced students, and electrical engineers. Its thorough investigation into elliptical field distributions makes it a particularly significant contribution to the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

A clear, engineering‑focused guide to single‑phase commutator motors that explains how these machines work and how to design and analyze them.
This edition presents the theory of single‑phase, elliptic‑field motors with a practical, diagram‑driven approach. It emphasizes understanding the physical facts over heavy algebra, so engineers and advanced students can predict performance across varying loads and speeds. The discussion builds from fundamental ideas to a general method that can be reduced to numerical form, helping you plan, analyze, and test real machines.
Readers will find a structured treatment of the chief motor types and the methods used to model their action. The book blends theory with experimental insight, offering diagrams and explanations that illuminate how current, flux, and EMF distribute inside these machines. It also discusses starting conditions, leakage effects, and the role of auxiliary windings in shaping performance.
- Grounded explanations of the main single‑phase motor configurations, including neutralized and compensating arrangements
- Diagrammatic methods for predicting currents, voltages, and flux paths under different loads
- Guidance on relating theoretical models to practical measurements and curves
- Clear discussion of starting behavior, leakage, and how design choices affect performance
Ideal for professionals and students who want a solid, usable framework for understanding and working with single‑phase motors.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
