"The book is intended to serve as a textbook for basic courses on electrical machines covering the fundamentals of the electromechanical energy conversion, transformers, classical electrical machines (i.e., DC brush machines, induction machines and wound-field rotor synchronous machines) and modern electrical machines (i.e., switched reluctance machines (SRM) and permanent magnet (PM) brushless machines). The author breaks the stereotype that basic electrical machine courses are limited only to transformers, DC brush machines, induction machines and wound-field synchronous machines."--
