Introduction to AC Machine Design

<p><strong> The only book on the market that emphasizes machine design beyond the basic principles of AC and DC machine behavior </strong> <p> AC electrical machine design is a key skill set for developing competitive electric motors and generators for applications in industry, aerospace, and defense. This book presents a thorough treatment of AC machine design, starting from basic electromagnetic principles and continuing through the various design aspects of an induction machine. <em>Introduction to AC Machine Design</em> includes one chapter each on the design of permanent magnet machines, synchronous machines, and thermal design. It also offers a basic treatment of the use of finite elements to compute the magnetic field within a machine without interfering with the initial comprehension of the core subject matter. <p> Based on the author's notes, as well as years of classroom instruction, <em>Introduction to AC Machine Design:</em> <ul> <li>Brings to light more advanced principles of machine design—not just the basic principles of AC and DC machine behavior</li> <li>Introduces electrical machine design to neophytes while also being a resource for experienced designers</li> <li>Fully examines AC machine design, beginning with basic electromagnetic principles</li> <li>Covers the many facets of the induction machine design</li> </ul> <br> <p> <em>Introduction to AC Machine Design</em> is an important text for graduate school students studying the design of electrical machinery, and it will be of great interest to manufacturers of electrical machinery.
