This book is devoted to students, PhD students, postgraduates of electrical engineering, researchers, and scientists dealing with the analysis, design, and optimization of electrical machine properties. The purpose is to present methods used for the analysis of transients and steady-state conditions. In three chapters the following methods are presented: (1) a method in which the parameters (resistances and inductances) are calculated on the basis of geometrical dimensions and material properties made in the design process, (2) a method of general theory of electrical machines, in which the transients are investigated in two perpendicular axes, and (3) FEM, which is a mathematical method applied to electrical machines to investigate many of their properties.

Analysis of Electrical Machines discloses the information essential for a holistic understanding of electrical machines. The title emphasizes the effective analysis of machine performance. The text first covers the basic transformer and magnetically coupled circuit theory concepts, and then proceeds to tackling commutator machines. Next, the selection deals with synchronous and induction machines. The text also talks about the transient analysis of noncommutator machines. The last chapter details the physical basis for machine inductance parameters. The book will be of great use to both student and practicing electronics engineers and technicians.

The book is designed to cover the study of electro-mechanical energy converters in all relevant aspects, and also to acquaint oneself of a single treatment for all types of machines for modelling and analysis. The book starts with the general concepts of energy conversion and basic circuit elements, followed by a review of the mathematical tools. The discussion goes on to introduce the concepts of energy storage in magnetic field, electrical circuits used in rotary electro-mechanical devices and three-phase systems with their transformation. The book, further, makes the reader familiar with the modern aspects of analysis of machines like transient and dynamic operation of machines, asymmetrical and unbalanced operation of poly-phase induction machines, and finally gives a brief exposure to space phasor concepts.

From the fan motor in your PC to precision control of aircraft, electrical machines of all sizes, varieties, and levels of complexity permeate our world. Some are very simple, while others require exacting and application-specific design. Electrical Machine Analysis Using Finite Elements provides the tools necessary for the analysis and design of any type of electrical machine by integrating mathematical/numerical techniques with analytical and design methodologies. Building successively from simple to complex analyses, this book leads you step-by-step through the procedures and illustrates their implementation with examples of both traditional and innovative machines. Although the examples are of specific devices, they demonstrate how the procedures apply to any type of electrical machine, introducing a preliminary theory followed by various considerations for the unique circumstance. The author presents the mathematical background underlying the analysis, but emphasizes application of the techniques, common strategies, and obtained results. He also supplies codes for simple algorithms and reveals analytical methodologies that universally apply to any software program. With step-by-step coverage of the fundamentals and common procedures, Electrical Machine Analysis Using Finite Elements offers a superior analytical framework that allows you to adapt to any electrical machine, to any software platform, and to any specific requirements that you may encounter.
