Fundamentals of Electrical Machines

By M. Salam

Fundamentals of Electrical Machines has been revised thoroughly for readers, specially undergraduate students, to have a better and a clearer understanding of the subject. The following topics are new to the second edition:

- Review of electric circuits.
- Fleming's rule and mutual inductance.
- Exact and approximate equivalent circuit of a transformer.
- Transformer losses.
- Parallel connection of transformer with equal and unequal voltage ratios.
- Transformer cooling and instrument transformers.
- Power system symbols and per unit systems.
- Demagnetizing and cross magnetizing components.
- Details of armature voltage control method.
- Speed control of dc motor by thyristor and diode.
- Dynamic and regenerative braking of dc motor.
- Approximate equivalent circuit and condition for maximum mechanical power of three-phase induction motor.
- Classification of three-phase motor by properties.
- Cogging, crawling and double squirrel cage motor.
- Details of speed control of three-phase induction motor.
- Stepper motor and its classification.

Answers to all exercise problems are included at the end to encourage problem solving. An instructor's manual is also available to academics upon request.
