Prerequisite Required for a Course in Electrical Machines

[janu203]

I want to study "Electrical Machines" Course. I looked for online courses but they all had different prerequisites to study "Electrical Machines" course. Can anyone guide me about what prerequisites are needed to study "Electrical Machines" or any specific contents that i should study (e-book or online tutorials) which are essential as prerequisite?

List the prerequisites given for each of these courses, and compare them to one another. Pay particular attention to prerequisites common to all courses.

Can you list what all these different pre-reqs are for the different courses and we can tell you why they are there.

It is possible the courses cover slightly different material, hence the different pre-reqs

What's an "Electrical Machine"?

Let's make this really simple.

Physics, to get a grip on magnetism.
Electrical circuits, so you don't electrocute your lab partner and burn down the lab.

Buy yourself a few small electrical motors to tear down, rebuild, and figure out how to run.

I want to study "motors" , "generators" and stuff like that.

It depends in part upon what your goals are.
AC and DC electrical theory and a good understanding of magnetism are obvious prerequisites. If you intend on designing electrical machines, add mechanical engineering topics. If you foresee oil-filled transformers in your future, then basic chemistry and material sciences; enough to understand the properties of insulating oils. "Electrical Machines" is a very broad subject.

Handbook of Electric Motors by Hamid A. Toliyat and Gerald B. Kliman is a good reference, but pricy. To get a feel for the subject on the cheap, pick up a copy of Schaum's Outline of Electric Machines and Electromechanics.
