This text provides an overview of numerical field computational methods and, in particular, of the finite element method (FEM) in magnetics. Detailed attention is paid to the practical use of the FEM in designing electromagnetic devices such as motors, transformers and actuators. Based on the authors' extensive experience of teaching numerical techniques to students and design engineers, the book is ideal for use as a text at undergraduate and graduate level, or as a primer for practising engineers who wish to learn the fundamentals and immediately apply these to actual design problems. Contents: Introduction; Computer Aided Design in Magnetics; Electromagnetic Fields; Potentials and Formulations; Field Computation and Numerical Techniques; Coupled Field Problems; Numerical Optimisation; Linear System Equation Solvers; Modelling of Electrostatic and Magnetic Devices; Examples of Computed Models.

Electrical Machine Design caters to the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students of electrical engineering and industry novices. The authors have adopted a flow chart based approach to explain the subject. This enables an in-depth understanding of the design of different types of electrical machines with an appropriate introduction to basic design considerations and the magnetic circuits involved. The book aids students to prepare for various competitive exams through objective questions, worked-out examples and review questions in increasing order of difficulty. MATLAB and C programs and Finite Element simulations using Motor Solve, featured in the text offers a profound new perspective in understanding of automated design of electrical machines.

The basic theory, principle of operation and characteristics of transformers, three-phase induction motors, single-phase induction motors, synchronous machines and dc machines are dealt with in Appendices to provide the background for the design of these machines. The initial chapters of the book are devoted to basic parameters of design of electrical apparatus, characteristics of magnetic, electric and insulating materials, construction of electrical machines, and basic design requirements of magnetic and electrical circuits of machines. Detailed procedures for designing transformers, three-phase induction motors, single-phase induction motors, synchronous machines and dc machines are explained in a simple and logical way. Several sample designs have been wroked out in detail. Methods of carrying out various tests and maintaining test records are discussed in detail.
