Publisher's Synopsis
This book gives a thoroughly up-to-date account of the principles of electrical machines and drives in a form accessible to the non-specialist. At the same time, it provides sound groundwork for more advanced studies. It wil be of particular value as an introductory textbook for students of electrical and electronic engineering. It features a novel approach to the treatment of classical AC machines based on the concepts of current density and flux density, together with a thorough treatment of the new non-classical electronically commutated machines. Worked examples and problems for solution are included.
