Power Devices & Systems Textbooks: Electric Machines

AI Thread Summary
For a Power Devices and Systems course covering topics such as power circuits, transformers, three-phase connections, and various types of motors, a recommended textbook is "Electric Machines" by Charles Hubert. This book aligns well with the course objectives, which include analyzing, modeling, and predicting the performance of power devices and systems, as well as measuring parameters through standard tests. The text is suitable for understanding both single-phase and balanced three-phase systems, making it a valuable resource for students in this field.

Hi,

I am taking a Power Devices and Systems course and I am looking for a good textbook. The type of circuits/machines we are covering are:
Power circuits; transformers; magnetic circuits; three phase connections; single
phase motors; polyphase machines; synchronous generators and motors; induction
motors; dc motors; design of industrial systems.


And the course objectives are:
To analyse, model, and predict the performance of power devices and systems including
singlephase and balanced three-phase systems, transformers, and ac generators and
motors. To measure the parameters for these models using standard tests.


Any good book reccomendations?

Thanks in advance!

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
