Salient Features



The books exhaustively covers the syllabus of the core course on Basic Electrical Engineering. Fundamental concepts, techniques and electric machines are dealt with in appropriate details.

The book has four parts, the first part discusses electric circuit theory, the second part covers electric machines and the third part deals with electrical instrumentation and fourth part on Electrical Energy.

SALIENT FEATURES :

  • All basic techniques of circuit analysis discussed.


  • Frequency response, two port networks and Fourier analysis included.


  • Concept of phasors introduced early to aid in circuit analysis.


  • Chapter on Laplace Transform retained - the most consistent, systematic and readily interpretable mathematical tool for solving integrodifferential equations involved in circuit analysis.


  • Circuits with dependent sources stressed.


  • Constructional features of all electric machines illustrated through cross-sectional views.


  • New chapter on measurement techniques and electric - electronics instrumentation.


  • An additional chapter on Electrical Energy - introduces readers to the real-world picture of energy generation, transmission and energy resources (both conventional and renewable).


  • Sufficient number of solved examples (200) and 220 exercise problems (with answers) to reinforce the concepts.
