Design Of Small Electrical Machines

Designing electrical machines requires multi-disciplinary skills. Engineers must not only be expert in electromagnetic design, but also in selecting materials and choosing production techniques. Employing a range of examples, the author covers various design procedures from specification to performance prediction. Featuring: Selection and specification of components and materials Production techniques Focus on both the electrical and mechanical construction aspects Introduction to CAD Detailed exploration of thermal design Unified approach to permanent magnet and wound-field d.c. motor design Design of 50 Hz and 400 Hz induction motors Typical designs This timely book highlights the latest advances in design techniques and materials. By presenting a self-contained and unified treatment, it will prove invaluable to both professional engineers and senior students.
