Designed for the first course on Electric Machines undertaken by the students of Electrical, Electronics, and Instrumentation engineering, the book provides an excellent foundation to the theory of electromechanical devices with specific emphasis on rotating electric machines.

It continues to emphasis on the fundamentals, physical concepts and systematic development of circuit model equivalents of both transformers and machines.

New to the third Edition :

• Enhanced coverage of Permanent magnet materials and their applications.
• New material on voltage and current transformers, audio frequency and grounding transformer { Chapter 3}.
• Discussion on induction generator, energy efficient induction motors, classes of squirrel cage motors, and inverted induction machine has been expanded{Chapter 9}.
• MATLAB based solved examples and exercises, including design of armature winding using MATLAB.
