Induction Machines Handbook: Steady State Modeling and Performance offers a thorough treatment of steady-state induction machines (IM), the most used electric motor (generator) in rather constant or variable speed drives, forever lower energy consumption and higher productivity in basically all industries, from home appliances, through robotics to e-transport and wind energy conversion.


Chapter 1 offers a detailed introduction from fundamental principles to topological classifications and most important applications and power ranges from tens of W to tens of MW.


Then individual Chapters 2 and 4 deal in detail with specific issues, such as











Magnetic, electric, and insulation materials







Electric windings and their mmf







Magnetization curve and inductance







Leakage inductances and resistances







Steady-state equivalent circuit and performance







Starting and speed control methods







Skin and on-load saturation effects







Field harmonics, parasitic torques, radial forces, noise







Losses







Thermal modeling







Single-phase induction machine basics







Single-phase induction motors: steady-state modeling and performance








Fully revised and updated to reflect the last decade's progress in the field, this third edition adds new sections, such as











Multiphase and multilayer tooth-wound coil windings







The brushless doubly fed induction machine (BDFIM)







Equivalent circuits for BDFIM







Control principles for doubly fed IM







Magnetic saturation effects on current and torque versus slip curves







Rotor leakage reactance saturation







Closed-slot IM saturation







The origin of electromagnetic vibration by practical experience







PM-assisted split-phase cage-rotor IM's steady state








The promise of renewable (hydro and wind) energy via cage-rotor and doubly fed variable speed generators e-transport propulsion and i-home appliances makes this third edition a state-of-the-art tool, conceived with numerous case studies and timely for both academia and industry.
