The technical systems we develop today are complicated. The challenges vehicle manufacturers are facing involve a combination of the fields of electronics, mechanics, control engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering, and software programming in order to realise the required functionality. This multi-disciplinary field of engineering is called mechatronics, and one of the key disciplines in this field is electronic engineering. Consequently, knowledge of the basic laws and principles of electronic engineering is mandatory for anyone who wants to work in the field of mechatronics. This book therefore explains the fundamentals of electrical engineering with an emphasis on mechatronic systems. Starting with basic laws, the main focus is on circuit analysis, including DC and AC circuits, transient effects, filters and oscillating circuits. Basic circuit elements are introduced as well as more complex semiconductor devices like operational amplifiers, biopolar junction transistors and MOSFET field-effect transistors. Finally, a short introduction to the important field of circuit simulation completes the book. The latest vehicles are classic examples of mechatronic systems. Automotive applications are therefore used throughout the book as examples to demonstrate the application of the discussed topics in a mechatronic environment.

This Book extensive pruning of the solved Examples in the text.Majority of the old examples have been replaced by questions set in the latest examination papers of different engineering colleges and technical institutions.

This volume covers principles and applications of electrical engineering, with the help of several pedagogical features.

Real-world engineering problems are rarely, if ever, neatly divided into mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and other categories. Engineers from all disciplines eventually encounter computer and electronic controls and instrumentation, which require at least a basic knowledge of electrical and other engineering specialties, as well as associa

The aim of this book is to provide a consolidated text for the first year B.E. Computer Science and Engineering students and B.Tech Information Technology students of Anna University. The syllabus has been thoroughly revised for the non-semester yearly pattern by the University. The book, made up of five chapters, systematically covers the five units of the syllabus. It begins with a detailed discussion on the fundamentals of electric circuits. DC circuits, AC circuits, 3-phase circuits, resonance and the network theorems. Lecture-type presentation of the rudiments of the fundamentals in conjunction with hundreds of solved examples is the strength of this book. Magnetic circuits and various magnetic elements and their properties, with number of illustrations are presented. DC machines and transformers are further dealt with. Equivalent circuits of machines supported with the respective photographs will ease the reader to understand the concepts of machines much better. Synchronous machines and asynchronous machines and fundamentals of control systems with various practical examples and relevant worked illustrations conclude this book. A large number of numerical illustrations and diagrammatic representations make this book valuable for students and teachers.

This book serves as a tool for any engineer who wants to learn about circuits, electrical machines and drives, power electronics, and power systems basics From time to time, engineers find they need to brush up on certain fundamentals within electrical engineering. This clear and concise book is the ideal learning tool for them to quickly learn the basics or develop an understanding of newer topics. Fundamentals of Electric Power Engineering: From Electromagnetics to Power Systems helps nonelectrical engineers amass power system information quickly by imparting tools and trade tricks for remembering basic concepts and grasping new developments. Created to provide more in-depth knowledge of fundamentals—rather than a broad range of applications only—this comprehensive and up-to-date book: Covers topics such as circuits, electrical machines and drives, power electronics, and power system basics as well as new generation technologies Allows nonelectrical engineers to build their electrical knowledge quickly Includes exercises with worked solutions to assist readers in grasping concepts found in the book Contains “in-depth” side bars throughout which pique the reader’s curiosity Fundamentals of Electric Power Engineering is an ideal refresher course for those involved in this interdisciplinary branch.
