Summary

For this revision of their bestselling junior- and senior-level text, Guru & Hiziroglu have incorporated eleven years of cutting-edge developments in the field since Electric Machinery & Transformers was first published. Completely re-written, the new Second Edition also incorporates suggestions from students and instructors who have used the First Edition, making it the best text available for junior- and senior-level courses in electric machines. The new edition features a wealth of new and improved problems and examples, designed to complement the authors' overall goal of encouraging intuitive reasoning rather than rote memorization of material. Chapter 3, which presents the conversion of energy, now includes: analysis of magnetically coupled coils, induced emf in a coil rotating in a uniform magnetic field, induced emf in a coil rotating in a time-varying magnetic field, and the concept of the revolving field. All problems and examples have been rigorously tested using Mathcad.
