Unit Code: EED510

Unit Name: Electrical Machines

Description: Electricity does not occur naturally in usable form and it also cannot be stored in usefully large quantities. It must be generated continuously to meet the demand (of power) at all times. An efficient and convenient way to generate electric power is by conversion of mechanical power into electrical form in a rotating device called a generator. The electromagnetic system is an essential element of all rotating electric machinery. All electric motors and generators, ranging in size from fractional horsepower courses found in domestic appliances to the gigantic several thousand kW motors employed in heavy industry and several hundred megawatt generators installed in modern generating stations, depend upon the magnetic field as the coupling medium allowing interchange of energy in either direction between electrical and mechanical systems The aim of this course is to give deep understanding of the theory and practical of electromechanical devices, and transformers.
