Including coverage of the important topics in the field, this title incorportes the use of MATLAB registered] in examples and problems, where applicable.

Electric Machinery Fundamentals continues to be a best-selling machinery text due to its accessible, student-friendly coverage of the important topics in the field. Chapman's clear writing persists in being one of the top features of the book. Although not a book on MATLAB, the use of MATLAB has been enhanced in the fourth edition. Chapman has also added some new applications, as well as many new problems have been added. Electric Machinery Fundamentals is also accompanied by a website the provides solutions for instructors, as well as source code, MATLAB tools, and links to important sites for students.

This book endeavors to break the stereotype that basic electrical machine courses are limited only to transformers, DC brush machines, induction machines, and wound-field synchronous machines. It is intended to serve as a textbook for basic courses on Electrical Machines covering the fundamentals of the electromechanical energy conversion, transformers, classical electrical machines, i.e., DC brush machines, induction machines, wound-field rotor synchronous machines and modern electrical machines, i.e., switched reluctance machines (SRM) and permanent magnet (PM) brushless machines. In addition to academic research and teaching, the author has worked for over 18 years in US high-technology corporative businesses providing solutions to problems such as design, simulation, manufacturing and laboratory testing of large variety of electrical machines for electric traction, energy generation, marine propulsion, and aerospace electric systems.

This is a core course for junior year EE students that focuses on the basics of AC and DC machinery. Chapman is the market leader with 25% share. New to this edition, includes a professor from Cal Poly SLO who will help proof all problems and overhaul at least 30% of the problems in the text, to give the book a fresh face.

There no any doubt that, the science of electric machinery is one of the necessary important sciences for the undergraduate students in electrical engineering and in mechanical engineering as well. This book "Transformers and Electric Machinery Fundamentals" covers transformers and essential as well as most of special electric machines. The simplicity to a great extent in explaining each subject and the concentration on the different enough examples are the features that have been adopted in developing the text material. Moreover, at the end of each Chapter there are tutorial problems and different review answered questions for revision. Thus, this book has been written to meet the introductory phase of the needs of those students and engineers who are interested in electrical machinery science and its applications.

This book aims to offer a thorough study and reference textbook on electrical machines and drives. The basic idea is to start from the pure electromagnetic principles to derive the equivalent circuits and steady-state equations of the most common electrical machines (in the first parts). Although the book mainly concentrates on rotating field machines, the first two chapters are devoted to transformers and DC commutator machines. The chapter on transformers is included as an introduction to induction and synchronous machines, their electromagnetics and equivalent circuits. Chapters three and four offer an in-depth study of induction and synchronous machines, respectively. Starting from their electromagnetics, steady-state equations and equivalent circuits are derived, from which their basic properties can be deduced. The second part discusses the main power-electronic supplies for electrical drives, for example rectifiers, choppers, cycloconverters and inverters. Much attention is paid to PWM techniques for inverters and the resulting harmonic content in the output waveform. In the third part, electrical drives are discussed, combining the traditional (rotating field and DC commutator) electrical machines treated in the first part and the power electronics of part two. Field orientation of induction and synchronous machines are discussed in detail, as well as direct torque control. In addition, also switched reluctance machines and stepping motors are discussed in the last chapters. Finally, part 4 is devoted to the dynamics of traditional electrical machines. Also for the dynamics of induction and synchronous machine drives, the electromagnetics are used as the starting point to derive the dynamic models. Throughout part 4, much attention is paid to the derivation of analytical models. But, of course, the basic dynamic properties and probable causes of instability of induction and synchronous machine drives are discussed in detail as well, with the derived models for stability in the small as starting point. In addition to the study of the stability in the small, a chapter is devoted to large-scale dynamics as well (e.g. sudden short-circuit of synchronous machines). The textbook is used as the course text for the Bachelor’s and Master’s programme in electrical and mechanical engineering at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Ghent University. Parts 1 and 2 are taught in the basic course ’Fundamentals of Electric Drives’ in the third bachelor. Part 3 is used for the course ’Controlled Electrical Drives’ in the first master, while Part 4 is used in the specialised master on electrical energy.

This book is intended for a course that combines machinery and power systems into one semester. It is designed to be flexible and to allow instructors to choose chapters a la carte, so the instructor controls the emphasis. The text gives students the information they need to become real-world engineers, focusing on principles and teaching how to use information as opposed to doing a lot of calculations that would rarely be done by a practising engineer. The author compresses the material by focusing on its essence, underlying principles. MATLAB is used throughout the book in examples and problems.

There no any doubt that, the science of electric machinery is one of the essential important sciences for the undergraduate students in electrical engineering and in mechanical engineering as well. This book covers transformers and essential rotating Machines.The simplicity to a great extent in explaining each subject and the concentration on the different enough examples for illustrating the scientific material are main features that have been adopted in developing the text material. Moreover, at the end of each Chapter there are tutorial problems and different review answered questions for revision.

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. 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. 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.
