Electrical Machines By Smarajit Ghosh

Electrical Machines
By Smarajit Ghosh

This fully revised second edition is systematically organized to follow the logical flow of topics covered in electrical machines courses across universities in India. Written as a text-cum-guide, it's designed so the underlying principles can be readily understood, making it useful to both novice and advanced readers, with strong emphasis placed throughout on physical understanding and pedagogical clarity rather than abstract derivation alone. Beyond conventional rotating machines, its extensive coverage also includes rigorous treatment of transformers — current, potential, and welding transformers — special machines, AC/DC servomotors, linear induction motors, permanent magnet DC motors, and the application of thyristors in rotating machines.

Topics commonly covered include:

• DC machines (generators and motors)
• Transformers (single-phase, three-phase, and three-winding)
• Instrument and welding transformers
• Induction motors (three-phase and single-phase)
• Synchronous generators and motors
• Special machines (stepper motors, servomotors)
• Linear induction motors and permanent magnet DC motors
• Application of thyristors in rotating machines

Key features:

• Exhaustive coverage of rotating machines spanning AC, DC, and special machine types
• Detailed discussion of construction, winding, and operation for each machine type
• Rigorous, separate treatment of synchronous generators and motors
• Strong emphasis on physical intuition alongside mathematical treatment
• Written by a professor with a doctorate in Electrical Power and Distribution Systems from IIT Kharagpur

Perfect for:

• Electrical engineering undergraduates studying electrical machines
• Students needing both foundational and advanced machine-design understanding in one text
• Students specializing in special machines or power electronics applications in drives
• Faculty teaching electrical machines courses across degree programs
