Description & Coverage
Description:

Direct current machines are a quickly evolving domain whose applications affect many aspects of modern life from computers and printers to toys, electric vehicles, and traction applications. As their many uses continue to grow, it has become apparent that understanding these machines is the key to understanding our future.

Operation, Construction, and Functionality of Direct Current Machines brings together many concepts, from the most basic working principles and construction of DC machines to more advanced topics such as electro-magnetism, armature reaction, parallel operations, and many more. Highlighting theoretical concepts and numerical problems, this book is an essential reference source for students, educators, and anyone interested in the field of electric machines.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Armature Reaction
  • Armature Windings
  • Characteristics of DC Generators
  • Commutation
  • DC Motor Functionality
  • Electromagnetism
  • Parallel Operation of DC Generators
  • Performance of DC Machines
  • Types of DC Generators
Reviews & Statements

In a textbook for a graduate course in such fields as electrical, mechanical, computer, and chemical engineering, Amin and Rehmani discuss direct current machines. They present the principles of operation, construction details, and functions of each part and each type, and describe the internal interaction of magnetic fields. Among their topics are the principle of a direct current generator, armature reaction, parallel operations of direct current generators, the performance of direct current machines, commutation, applications, and stepper motor.
