Design Of Rotating Electrical Machines

This book is an in-depth essential reference of rotating electrical machine design theory and application. In the first part of the book the general theory governing the design of an electrical machine is presented, the main body of the book focuses on the design of a rotating electrical machine. The book defines basic characteristics such as machine type (e.g. synchronous, asynchronous, DC and doubly salient reluctance machines) and type of construction (e.g. external pole, internal pole, axial flux and radial flux machines). It then moves on to provide a detailed analysis of the design process and properties of rotating electrical machines including the insulation and heat removal options A comprehensive and systematic overview of all existing and emerging technology in the field of rotating electrical machine design. Presents a rigorous introduction to the theoretical principles and techniques of electrical machine design. Outlines a detailed step-by-step sequence of machine design, providing an invaluable guide on how to approach rotating electrical machine design. Includes end of chapter exercises and direct design examples with methods for tackling, and solutions to, real design problems.
