This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the theory and applications of
alternating current (AC) electrical machines. It explores electromechanical systems,
focusing on the basic concepts of electromagnetic fields and magnetic materials,
delving into the governing laws and forces of magnetism. The text then transitions
to a comprehensive examination of electromechanical AC machines, including AC
generators, transformers, and synchronous and induction machines, with particular
attention to their operation, analysis, and design. It includes a wealth of solved
examples that elucidate complex principles and unsolved exercises to strengthen
problem-solving prowess.
Features:
• Offers in-depth information and study about asynchronous and synchronous
machines
• Presents complex electromechanical principles in an easy-to-follow manner
• Clarifies important ideas in electromechanics by offering several solved and
unsolved examples
• Covers over 150 practical examples, solved problems, and exercises to rein-
force learning
This book is designed for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in electrical
engineering, renewable energy engineering, and related disciplines. It is also a
practical reference for professionals working in the power systems, automation, and
energy sectors.
