Electrical Machines & their Applications, Volume Volume One, Fourth Edition (Applied Electricity and Electronics)

This book forms a self-contained, comprehensive and unified treatment of electrical machines and includes consideration of their control characteristics in both conventional and semiconductor switched circuits. This new edition has been revised to include material which reflects current thinking and practice. All references have been updated to conform to the latest national (BS) and international (IEC) recommendations. A new appendix has been added which deals more fully with the theory of permanent-magnets, recognising the growing importance of permanent-magnet machines. The text is so arranged that selections can be made from it to give a short course for non-specialists, while the book as a whole will prepare students for more advanced studies in power systems, control systems, electrical machine design and general industrial applications. The numerous worked examples and tutorial problems with answers will provide an invaluable aid to students in universities, polytechnics and technical colleges.
