Introduction to Electric Machines

An electric machine is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy or vice versa. It can take the form of an electric generator, electric motor, or transformer. Electric generators produce virtually all electric power we use all over the world.

Major Areas of Electrical Engineering

Electric machine blends the three major areas of electrical engineering: power, control and power electronics. This book presents the relation of power quantities for the machine as the current, voltage power flow, power losses, and efficiency.

Learning Outcomes

This book will provide a good understanding of the behavior and its drive, beginning with the study of salient features of electrical dc and ac machines.
