This book is a comprehensive guide to specialized motors, providing in-depth information on the operating principles, applications, and controls of various special electrical machines.

It covers a range of special machines, including switched reluctance motors, permanent magnet synchronous machines, brushless direct current motor, stepper motors, universal motors, and hysteresis motors. The book also addresses the issue of torque ripple. Much of the literature available today focuses solely on conventional motors and their controls, like induction motors, synchronous motors, PMDC motors, servo machines, and transformers. This book takes a broader view, addressing the growing trend toward specialized motors tailored to specific applications and new innovations in control and modification. It aims to offer comprehensive insights into these special machines by providing detailed information on their operating principles, applications, and controls.

This exciting new volume:

• Provides application-based examples of machines not covered in other books on special machines
• Provides context for the use of special machines used in electric vehicle technology
• Gives examples which are helpful for industry practices

Audience

Undergraduate students, post-graduate students, researchers, and industry professionals who study and use special machines

This book covers special machines, including switched reluctance motors, permanent magnet DC machines, permanent magnet synchronous machines, stepper motors, universal motors, hysteresis motors, axial flux ironless PM motors, and SyRM. Most literature available today only covers conventional motors and their controls with applications such as induction motors, synchronous motors, PMDC motors, servo machines, and transformers. However, trends towards more specialized motors according to exact application requirements and innovations occurred with greater control and modification. This book aims to expand on these new special machines by giving in-depth information on their operating principles, applications, and controls.
