Energy Conversion: Electric Motors and Generators (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

A comprehensive text on the theory and performance of transformers and electromechanical energy conversion devices, this text features a description of steady-state operation first, followed by broad concepts of conversion of energy. Dynamic circuit theory is gradually introduced. Force and torque equations are developed first, then by means of primitives, the voltage equations are formulated systematically. A flexible organization allows instructors to select material for one-, two- or three-term courses.
