2nd Edition
by Juha Pyrhonen (Author), Tapani Jokinen (Author), Valeria Hrabovcova (Author)
In one complete volume, this
essential reference presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical
principles and techniques of electrical machine design. This timely new
edition offers up-to-date theory and guidelines for the design of
electrical machines, taking into account recent advances in permanent
magnet machines as well as synchronous reluctance machines.
New coverage includes:
- Brand new material on the ecological impact of the motors, covering the eco-design principles of rotating electrical machines
- An
expanded section on the design of permanent magnet synchronous
machines, now reporting on the design of tooth-coil, high-torque
permanent magnet machines and their properties
- Large updates
and new material on synchronous reluctance machines, air-gap inductance,
losses in and resistivity of permanent magnets (PM), operating point of
loaded PM circuit, PM machine design, and minimizing the losses in
electrical machines>
- End-of-chapter exercises and new direct design examples with methods and solutions to real design problems>
- A
supplementary website hosts two machine design examples created with
MATHCAD: rotor surface magnet permanent magnet machine and squirrel cage
induction machine calculations. Also a MATLAB code for optimizing the
design of an induction motor is provided
Outlining a
step-by-step sequence of machine design, this book enables electrical
machine designers to design rotating electrical machines. With a
thorough treatment of all existing and emerging technologies in the
field, it is a useful manual for professionals working in the diagnosis
of electrical machines and drives. A rigorous introduction to the
theoretical principles and techniques makes the book invaluable to
senior electrical engineering students, postgraduates, researchers and
university lecturers involved in electrical drives technology and
electromechanical energy conversion.
