Book Description This revision of the classic text on electric machines has been updated to include extensive coverage of permanent magnet machines and variable reluctance machines. This market leader continues the philosophy of previous editions by maintaining its solid presentation of fundamental physical principles of machinery operation as well as the techniques required to model and analyze them. It also features a wide variety of new end-of-chapter problems and additional examples. | ||

It is a reasonable but ... Buy it instead: Electric Machinery and Transformers (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) Electric Machinery Fundamentals (McGraw-Hill Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) | ||
Needs Improving I used this text in an elective on electrical machines and found the book very difficult to learn from. Readability is not bad. The writing is fine and easy enough to follow but the equations in the text were frequently the wrong equation for the topic. Several tables had eroneous information. While most text books contain some errata, this book contained more than any of the dozens of engineering books in my personal library. None of the end of chapter problems had any answers in order to check work. While only a nuisance, example problems in the text would reference a machine from several chapters back, requiring the reader to flip back and forth to understand the situation of the current example. I did appreciate the fact that the book includes matlab examples and exercises as to aid understanding with simulations. | ||
Complete without being difficult This book may be considered a reference in the study of electric machines, because it brings the main aspects of electromechanical energy conversion devices without being difficult to understand. Its way for explaining the relations of power/current/torque in induction machines is the best one I've seen in any book. | ||
Electric machinery easy at high level The most powerfull book in Electric Machinery for the beginners and experts, at the same level of complexity (it's hard to read but it's very interesting in the way of presenting the contents...), requires some background in theory of electrical circuits and systems | ||
