Rotating Electrical Machines and Power Systems

An authoritative reference to modern rotating electrical machinery and power systems, presented in a clear and readily- understood format. The authors employ an "electrical power systems" model for presenting key concepts in production, distribution, conversion, and control systems. Within this model, the key subsystems are each explored in detail. Subjects covered include physical characteristics of rotating systems, electrical power basics, AC and DC generators, transformers, power distribution systems, DC motors, single-phase and three- phase AC motors, specialized electrical machinery, control systems, and measurement and testing equipment.
