Review: This undergraduate textbook book looks at electromagnetic–mechanical energy conversion processes and the machines that implement them. It also takes in the source, controller and mechanical termination. The author starts by describing the basic machine physics and principles of operation, giving realistic applications and considering relevant control issues. The chapters, which could be the basis of a course syllabus, include: Basic electromagnetic concepts; Transformers; Basic mechanical considerations; The polyphase induction machine – balanced and unbalanced operations; Control of AC motors; The polyphase synchronous machine – balanced operation and the general coupled-circuit model; The DC machine; Translational electromechanical machines; and Special purpose machines and sensors.
