Written in lucid prose, this text provides students of electrical engineering and practicing electrical design engineers with the properties of electrical steels. Beckley (Cardiff U., UK, consultant to Cogent Power), who has published extensively on the subject, defines the principles behind the actions of electrical steels, their properties, and the history of their development. He then describes manufacturing methods, range of materials, coatings, insulation, effects of punching and core building, high-frequency applications, and testing, among other topics.

Modeling and High Performance Control of Electric Machines introduces you to both the modeling and control of electric machines. The direct current (DC) machine and the alternating current (AC) machines (induction, PM synchronous, and BLDC) are all covered in detail. The author emphasizes control techniques used for high-performance applications, specifically ones that require both rapid and precise control of position, speed, or torque. You'll discover how to derive mathematical models of the machines, and how the resulting models can be used to design control algorithms that achieve high performance. Graduate students studying power and control as well as practicing engineers in industry will find this a highly readable text on the operation, modeling, and control of electric machines. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department. Instructor Support materials are also available.

"This book explores relevant theoretical frameworks, the latest empirical research findings, and industry-approved techniques in this field of electromagnetic transient phenomena"--Provided by publisher.
This fully revised second edition of Electrical Machines is systematically organized as per the logical flow of the topics included in electrical machines courses in universities across India. It is written as a text-cum-guide so that the underlying principles can be readily understood, and is useful to both the novice as well as advanced readers. Emphasis has been laid on physical understanding and pedagogical aspects of the subject. In addition to conventional machines, the book's extensive coverage also includes rigorous treatment of transformers (current, potential and welding transformers), special machines, AC/DC servomotors, linear induction motors, permanent magnet DC motors and application of thyristors in rotating machines.
In one complete volume, this essential reference presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical principles and techniques of electrical machine design. This timely new edition offers up-to-date theory and guidelines for the design of electrical machines, taking into account recent advances in permanent magnet machines as well as synchronous reluctance machines. New coverage includes: Brand new material on the ecological impact of the motors, covering the eco-design principles of rotating electrical machines An expanded section on the design of permanent magnet synchronous machines, now reporting on the design of tooth-coil, high-torque permanent magnet machines and their properties Large updates and new material on synchronous reluctance machines, air-gap inductance, losses in and resistivity of permanent magnets (PM), operating point of loaded PM circuit, PM machine design, and minimizing the losses in electrical machines> End-of-chapter exercises and new direct design examples with methods and solutions to real design problems> A supplementary website hosts two machine design examples created with MATHCAD: rotor surface magnet permanent magnet machine and squirrel cage induction machine calculations. Also a MATLAB code for optimizing the design of an induction motor is provided Outlining a step-by-step sequence of machine design, this book enables electrical machine designers to design rotating electrical machines. With a thorough treatment of all existing and emerging technologies in the field, it is a useful manual for professionals working in the diagnosis of electrical machines and drives.
