Good book on electrical machines

AI Thread Summary
Undergraduate engineering students seeking resources on electrical machines are recommended several key texts for easy understanding, including "Electrical Machinery" by Fitzgerald, Kingsley, & Umans and "Electromagnetic and Electromechanical Machines" by Leander Matsch. An older edition of the first book has been previously used successfully by forum participants. Additionally, Rockwell's literature library offers a wealth of information on VFDs, motors, and related topics, although some articles may be lengthy. Prerequisites for these subjects typically include knowledge of electromagnetic fields, circuit theory, and calculus. These resources provide a solid foundation for mastering induction and DC motors.

hello,
i am an undergraduate student pursuing engineering.
kindly suggest me a good book on electrical machines (induction motors, dc motors ,etc) so that they can be understood very easily .
please suggest as fast as possible
:cool:

thank u

The literature library at www.Rockwell.com has numerous books on VFD's, Motors, PWM signals and AB PLC's including ladder logic instruction set. However many of the articles are too large to post here you may want to check the site out. The literature library does not need membership but the knowledge base does.
 
"Electrical Machinery", 6th edition, by Fitzgerald, Kingsley, & Umans. I had Dr. Umans in spring 2010 for a power course for the Ph.D. work. He's very good. I used this same text earlier edition in undergraduate machines course.

"Electromagnetic and Electromechanical Machines", by Leander Matsch. I used this text as a grad teaching assistant, also very good.

You cannot go wrong w/ either text. Prerequisite would be e/m fields, circuit theory, physics 1 & 2, and calculus.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
