Special Electrical Machines

This book covers the complete syllabi prescribed for undergraduate courses in electrical, electronics, mechanical and instrumentation engineering offered by various Indian universities.

The objective of this text is to provide thorough knowledge in the emerging field of special electrical machines. It discusses the stepper motor, switched reluctance motor, permanent magnet dc and ac motors, brushless dc motors, single phase special electric motors, servomotors, linear electric machines and permanent magnet axial flux machines.

Book Features

Chapter on permanent magnet axial flux machines (not available in other Indian authors books)
Numerous worked-out examples
Based on classroom tested materials
Simplified mathematical analysis

Besides undergraduate students, the book will also be useful to the postgraduate students specialising in drives and control, power electronics, control systems and mechatronics.
