Electric Machinery and Transformers (3rd Edition)

Description:

Master the heartbeat of power systems with Electric Machinery and Transformers. This third edition is widely praised for its “easy-to-read” style, making the complex physics of rotating machinery and electromagnetic induction accessible. It is the perfect companion for students who find the math of power engineering intimidating.

Why This Textbook Stands Out:

• Pedagogical Approach: Unlike denser texts, Guru & Hiziroglu use a step-by-step method to develop equivalent circuits and performance characteristics.

• Balanced Theory: It offers a perfect mix of theoretical background and practical application, with plenty of worked examples to clarify concepts.

• Comprehensive Coverage: From the basics of magnetic circuits to the sophisticated operation of synchronous and induction machines.

• Review Questions: Includes extensive end-of-chapter problems that are excellent for exam preparation and building professional intuition.

Key Topics Covered:

• Magnetic Circuits: Flux, reluctance, and electromagnetic induction.

• Transformers: Ideal and real transformers, voltage regulation, and efficiency.

• DC Machines: Construction, winding types, and speed control.

• Induction Motors: The “workhorse of industry”—slip, torque-speed curves, and starting methods.

• Synchronous Machines: Generators and motors in power grid applications.
