Authors: J.R. Hendershot, T.J.E. Miller.
This book is written for engineers concerned with the design and development of electric machines. It addresses two aspects of the modern design environment, in which powerful software tools are widely used: 1. How should we start a new design to meet a given specification. 2. How can the classical theory inform and support the design process? Some answers are attempted through a series of numerical design examples, including the surface-magnet motor (SPM), the interior-magnet motor (IPM), the asynchronous induction motor, the synchronous reluctance motor, the wound-field synchronous motor, and the switched reluctance motor. After the SPM, all the remaining motors are designed to the same AC drive specification with many common parts. Working with numerical design examples, the book (a) provides a platform for the use of CAE tools, starting with the same geometry, winding layout, etc so that more difficult aspects can be studied. (b) uses the finite-element method to help with several basic classical calculations, greatly improving the accuracy; and (c) presents and explains many of the theoretical principals of electric machine design without overburdening the subject with pure theory. The use of numerical design examples helps to keep the length of the of the book to a manageable scale.
