Induction Machines Handbook: Transients, Control Principles, Design and Testing [Hardcover]

Induction Machines Handbook: Transients, Control Principles, Design and Testing presents a practical up-to-date treatment of intricate issues with induction machines (IM) required for design and testing in both rather constant- and variable-speed (with power electronics) drives. It contains ready-to-use industrial design and testing knowledge, with numerous case studies to facilitate a thorough assimilation of new knowledge.

Individual Chapters 1 through 14 discuss in detail the following:

• Three- and multiphase IM transients
• Single-phase source IM transients
• Super-high-frequency models and behavior of IM
• Motor specifications and design principles
• IM design below 100 kW and constant V₁ and f₁
• IM design above 100 kW and constant V₁ and f₁
• IM design principles for variable speed
• Optimization design
• Single-phase IM design
• Three-phase IM generators
• Single-phase IM generators
• Linear induction motors
• Testing of three-phase IMs
• Single-phase IM testing

Fully revised and amply updated to add the new knowledge of the last decade, this third edition includes special sections on
