Written for electrical, electronics, & mechanical engineers
responsible for designing & specifying motors, the book provides
details of brushless DC & synchronous motors, as well as both radial
& axial motor topologies. Beginning with a discussion of the
fundamentals of generic motor design, it logically progresses to a set
of more advanced, yet easily understandable, concepts for designing
brushless permanent-magnet motors. In addition, the author fully
explains techniques for magnetic modeling & circuit analysis, shows
how magnetic circuit analysis applies to motor design, describes all
major aspects of motor operation & design in simple mathematical
terms, develops rigorous design equations for radial flux & axial
flux motors, & illustrates basic motor drive schemes. All common
motor design terms are clearly defined & a wealth of charts, tables
& equations are included.
