Principles of Electric Machines with Power Electronic Applications

A thoroughly updated introduction to electric machines and adjustable speed drives
All machines have power requirements, and finding the right balance of economy and performance can be a challenge to engineers. Principles of Electric Machines with Power Electronic Applications provides a thorough grounding in the principles of electric machines and the closely related area of power electronics and adjustable speed drives. Designed for both students and professionals seeking a foundation in the fundamental structure of modern–day electric power systems from a technical perspective, this lucid, succinct guide has been completely revised and updated to cover:The fundamental underpinnings of electromechanical energy conversion devicesTransformersInduction machinesSynchronous machinesDC machinesPower electronic components, systems, and their applications to adjustable speed drives
Enhanced by numerous solved problems, sample examinations and test sets, and computer–based solutions assisted by MATLAB scripts, this new edition of Principles of Electric Machines with Power Electronic Applications serves equally well as a practical reference and a handy self–study guide to help engineers maintain their professional edge in this essential field.
