More than a century after Faraday, there remains in the field of motors and drives enormous scope for innovation. This presentation of the theory of brushless d.c. drives will help engineers to appreciate the potential of such motors and apply them more widely, taking advantage of remarkable and recent developments in permanent-magnet materials, power semiconductors, electronic control, and motor design (including CAD). The objective is not to "sell" particular technologies or to teach design, but to lay out the basic principles and to raise the general credibility and acceptance of new technology that many engineers have striven to establish. The sections on the permanent magnets and magnetic circuits will assist in the exploitation of new PM materials with outstanding properties. Although the approach is essentially academic (theory and calculation predominates), the text is augmented with examples and practical applications of interest to practicing electronics engineers.

This excellent, practical guide for engineers clearly explains the switched reluctance motor (SRM) and its control. The SRM--a relative newcomer to the family of electric motors--is unusual both for having salient teeth on rotor and stator, and for its complete dependence on power electronic controls. The SRM, which does not conform to classical AC and DC electric motor design, has extreme localized saturation and requires an unfamiliar power-electronic converter to make it work. Although the geometry is simple and the result is remarkably versatile, the attainment of good design and satisfactory performance is practically impossible by traditional design methods. This clearly-written book for industrial designers and instructors presents the first detailed account of the properties and capabilities of the switched reluctance motor.

Brushless permanent-magnet motors provide simple, low maintenance, and easily controlled mechanical power. Written by two leading experts on the subject, this book offers the most comprehensive guide to the design and performance of brushless permanent-magnetic motors ever written. Topics range from electrical and magnetic design to materials and control. Throughout, the authors stress both practical and theoretical aspects of the subject, and relate the material to modern software-based techniques for design and analysis. As new magnetic materials and digital power control techniques continue to widen the scope of the applicability of such motors, the need for an authoritative overview of the subject becomes ever more urgent. Design of Brushless Permanent-Magnet Motors fits the bill and will be read by students and researchers in electric and electronic engineering.

History & Criticism

The aim of this book is to help engineers understand, design and evaluate the switched reluctance motor (SRM) and its controls. The SRM is a relative newcomer to the family of electric motors and is unusal both for having salient teeth on rotor and stator and for its complete dependence on its power electronic controls. It is however remarkable versatile. Part of the design problems is that the switched reluctance motor does not conform to the established design techniques used for classic DC and AC electric motors. The practical design engineer is confronted with a machine that has no steady state, has extreme localized saturation and requires an unframiiar power-electronic converter to make it work at all. The geometry is beguilingly simple and everything about the motor and its control seems at first sight to be a gift to the proudction engineer. Yet teh attainment of good designs and satisfactory performance is practically impossible by traditional design methods
