Electric motors, transformers, and control systems are used in all modern industries. Knowledge of the characteristics of these will help the electrical engineering technologist keep the wheels of industry turning. This book will give the student a practical introduction to electrical machinery, transformers, and motor control. The experiments have all been used at the Pennsylvania State University, Mckeesport Campus. There, the full series of experiments were done in two semesters. Each experiment requires about two hours of laboratory time. The book is designed to accompany a textbook. As an added feature, the book also has sections on conducting an experiment, laboratory report writing, accuracy, equipment, and motor runaway.

The HVDC Light[trademark] method of transmitting electric power. Introduces students to an important new way of carrying power to remote locations. Revised, reformatted Instructor's Manual. Provides instructors with a tool that is much easier to read. Clear, practical approach.

Master electric circuits, machines, devices, and power electronics hands on-without expensive equipment. In LabVIEW for Electric Circuits, Machines, Drives, and LaboratoriesDr. Nesimi Ertugrul uses custom-written LabVIEW Virtual Instruments to illuminate the analysis and operation of a wide range of AC and DC circuits, electrical machines, and drives-including high-voltage/current/power applications covered in no other book. Includes detailed background, VI panels, lab practices, hardware information, and self-study questions - everything you need to achieve true mastery.

This book is part of a three-book series. Ned Mohan has been a leader in EES education and research for decades, as author of the best-selling text/reference Power Electronics. This book emphasizes applications of electric machines and drives that are essential for wind turbines and electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. The approach taken is unique in the following respects: A systems approach, where Electric Machines are covered in the context of the overall drives with applications that students can appreciate and get enthusiastic about; A fundamental and physics-based approach that not only teaches the analysis of electric machines and drives, but also prepares students for learning how to control them in a graduate level course; Use of the space-vector-theory that is made easy to understand. They are introduced in this book in such a way that students can appreciate their physical basis; A unique way to describe induction machines that clearly shows how they go from the motoring-mode to the generating-mode, for example in wind and electric vehicle applications, and how they ought to be controlled for the most efficient operation.

Presents applied theory and advanced simulation techniques for electric machines and drives This book combines the knowledge of experts from both academia and the software industry to present theories of multiphysics simulation by design for electrical machines, power electronics, and drives. The comprehensive design approach described within supports new applications required by technologies sustaining high drive efficiency. The highlighted framework considers the electric machine at the heart of the entire electric drive. The book also emphasizes the simulation by design concept—a concept that frames the entire highlighted design methodology, which is described and illustrated by various advanced simulation technologies. Multiphysics Simulation by Design for Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Drives begins with the basics of electrical machine design and manufacturing tolerances. It also discusses fundamental aspects of the state of the art design process and includes examples from industrial practice. It explains FEM-based analysis techniques for electrical machine design—providing details on how it can be employed in ANSYS Maxwell software. In addition, the book covers advanced magnetic material modeling capabilities employed in numerical computation; thermal analysis; automated optimization for electric machines; and power electronics and drive systems. This valuable resource: Delivers the multi-physics know-how based on practical electric machine design methodologies Provides an extensive overview of electric machine design optimization and its integration with power electronics and drives Incorporates case studies from industrial practice and research and development projects Multiphysics Simulation by Design for Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Drives is an incredibly helpful book for design engineers, application and system engineers, and technical professionals. It will also benefit graduate engineering students with a strong interest in electric machines and drives.

Offers key concepts of electrical machines embedded with solved examples, review questions, illustrations and open book questions.
