Publisher's Synopsis
This text focuses on energy conversion in relation to electric motors and generators. Each chapter begins with an introduction and ends with a summary, chapter problems, and a bibliography. It covers areas such as energy conversion, dynamic circuits, transformers, rotating machines, direct current machines, polyphase induction motors, synchronous machines, single-phase AC commutator motors, and dynamic circuit analysis of rotating machines. In addition, it examines magnetic circuits, mechanical system relations, AC characteristics of ferromagnetic circuits, three-phase circuits, per unit values, rotating magnetic fields, windings, constants, and conversion factors.
