ELECTRICAL MACHINES

by Rajendra Prasad

This comprehensive textbook covers the syllabus of electrical machines of almost all the Indian universities. The language of the book is simple and easy to understand and each topic is well illustrated by examples and figures. The book can be used by the students for self-teaching. It deals in electromagnetism and discusses the electromechanical energy conversion principles. The text explains the principles and working of transformers, synchronous machines and three-phase induction motors. The book also deals with other special types of machines including single phase induction motor.

This book is primarily intended for undergraduate students of electrical engineering.
