9781330454558: Principles Underlying the Design of Electrical Machinery (Classic Reprint)

Sinopsis

Clear, practical guidance on the core ideas behind designing electrical machines. This edition distills fundamental principles into approachable explanations, helping engineers connect theory with real-world parts and performance.

The book covers the essential concepts that drive machine design, from electrical quantities and magnetic relationships to how these ideas shape core geometry, windings, and efficiency. It explains how units, flux, reluctance, and magnetomotive force fit into calculations and design choices, with an eye toward useful, engineering intuition rather than abstract theory alone.


  • Foundational concepts in electricity and magnetism, and how they underpin machine behavior

  • Practical guidelines for sizing slots, windings, and core gaps

  • Approach to estimating losses, efficiency, and cooling in design work

  • How to connect theoretical equations to real-number design decisions



Ideal for readers of classic engineering references who want solid, grounded guidance you can apply in design and evaluation of electrical machinery.

Excerpt from Principles Underlying the Design of Electrical Machinery

An important feature of the present work is the derivation of formulae from fundamental principles, an explanation of each formula and the reasons for the various standards of practice, all of which are explained in such a manner as to convey a mental picture of the fundamental physical phenomena leading to them.

The object is to give a practical method of design, with explana tions of the physical meaning of the arbitrary constants used by the professional designer.

Excerpt from Principles Underlying the Design of Electrical Machinery

This book is developed from a course of lectures, given at Columbia University and from the author's own experience as a designing engineer. It is to some extent an amplification of the series of articles on the Design of Electrical Machinery, written by the same author for Pender's "Handbook for Electrical Engineers."

An important feature of the present work is the derivation of formulæ from fundamental principles, an explanation of each, formula and the reasons for the various standards of practice, all of which are explained in such a manner as to convey a mental picture of the fundamental physical phenomena leading to them.

The object is to give a practical method of design, with explanations of the physical meaning of the arbitrary constants used by the professional designer.

It is hoped that the book will be found useful, not only as a text for a course on design in technical schools, but also as an aid to the young engineer by explaining the "why" of certain conventional practices.

A systematic method of procedure and a complete sample calculation are given for the design of each type of machine treated. The tables also give complete specifications and the results of calculations on several actual modern machines of each type.

The calculations of the mechanical features have been purposely omitted as they are considered to be outside the scope of the book, which is strictly electrical.

The methods and the data are the result of an experience of seven years' service in the Design Department of one of the large manufacturing companies and sixteen years' experience in teaching the subject.
