Fundamentals of Electric Machines

This book presents a comprehensive exposition of the theory, performance and analysis of electric machines. Transformers along with other machines including AC and DC, synchronous, 3-phase and single phase induction, commutator, special machines and solid state control have all been explained in a simple and friendly style. A balance between the mathematical and the qualitative aspects has been kept throughout the book.

A large variety of solved examples are included to illustrate the basic concepts and techniques. Unsolved problems and objective questions have also been presented at the end of each chapter.

The Third Edition also includes:
Wide band transformers
Phase groups of 3-phase transformers
Synchronous reactor and synchronous frequency changer
Speed control of 3-phase induction motor
Operation of 3-phase induction motor with unbalanced supply voltages
Additional solved and unsolved problems
All these features make this book an ideal text for undergraduate electrical, electronics and computer engineering students.
UPSC and AMIE candidates would also find the book extremely useful.
