Electric Machinery and Power System Fundamentals

by Stephen J. Chapman

Stephen J. Chapman is a leading author in the area of machines. He brings his expertise to the table again in An "Introduction to Electric Machinery and Power Systems." This text is designed to be used in a course that combines machinery and power systems into one semester. Chapman's new book is designed to be flexible and allow instructors to choose chapters "a la carte", sot he instructor controls the emphasis. Chapman has written a book that give students what they need to know to be real-world engineers. It focuses on principles and teaches students how to use information as opposed to do a lot of calculations that would rarely be done by a practicing engineer. He compresses the material by focusing on its essence, underlying principles. Matlab is used throughout the book in examples and problems.

This book is a great resource-- well written, engaging, thorough. Examples are clear, and there are many of them. I read this book for an introductory course in power engineering. Chapter 1 gives a quick review of relevant concepts from Calculus based Physics. Three-phase systems are reviewed in chapter 2 before moving on to three-phase transformers, which was helpful! If you have some Calculus, Physics, and circuitry skills then you should feel confident taking on this material.

One of the best electric machines books out there. I would recommend this book to virtually anyone. It provides information in an understandable fashion that is augmented by in depth theory. My opinion is that this book could be used by an undergrad to grab the big ideas or a PhD student to dig deep into the fundamental concepts.

This is a good book with some great solutions for Power Systems Designers. Anyone wanting to further understand complicated Power System Fundamentals would do well to check this one out. I will say I read most of the book but not all of it as some of the content is over my head!
