Electric Machines

By Charles A. Gross

Written in a style that is both accessible and authoritative, this book explores all aspects of electromagnetic-mechanical (EM) machines. The discussion progresses systematically through basic machine physics and principles of operation to real-world applications and relevant control issues for each type of machine presented. Coverage ranges from DC, induction, and synchronous machines to specialized machines such as transformers, translational machines, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Stimulating application examples illustrating electric vehicles, wind energy, and vertical transportation as well as numerous example problems demonstrate and reinforce the concepts.
