Electric Power Engineering

by Olle I. Elgerd (Editor), Patrick Van Der Puije (Editor)

This concise, complete primer on electric machines is specifically tailored for practicing engineers who require knowledge in this area and for mechanical and electrical engineering students. The authors focus on the similarities between the four main types of electric machines: the synchronous, the transformer, the dc machine, and the induction machine. This new edition moves logically from the presentation of background to problem analysis and problem solving sessions, on to hands-on experience in testing machines. Short examples are included at the end of each section as well as case studies as learning tools.
