The Art and Science of Rotating Field Machines Design: A Practical Approach

This book highlights procedures utilized by the design departments of leading global manufacturers, offering readers essential insights into the electromagnetic and thermal design of rotating field (induction and synchronous) electric machines. Further, it details the physics of the key phenomena involved in the machines' operation, conducts a thorough analysis and synthesis of polyphase windings, and presents the tools and methods used in the evaluation of winding performance. The book develops and solves the machines' magnetic circuits, and determines their electromagnetic forces and torques. Special attention is paid to thermal problems in electrical machines, along with fluid flow computations. With a clear emphasis on the practical aspects of electric machine design and synthesis, the author applies his nearly 40 years of professional experience with electric machine manufacturers both as an employee and consultant to provide readers with the tools they need to determine fluidflow parameters and compute temperature distributions.

Illustrates key processes and techniques in the electromagnetic and thermal design of rotating field electric machines Presents a thorough analysis of polyphase windings and the tools and methods needed to evaluate winding performance Offers readers essential insights into the magnetic circuits of machines and their electromagnetic forces and torques Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
