Description
Electric machines are part of our daily life. They can be as small as the motor in a toothbrush and the fan for a microprocessor inside a laptop or as large as thousands of horsepower for running pumps, compressors and the like. These motors do not have a similar construction and do not work based on the same principle, though all are machines that convert electrical power to mechanical power. 

For those engineers dealing with motor-driven devices, it is necessary to understand: the variety of motors, how they work, and how to select them. This course covers all DC and AC machines (generator and motor) but emphasizes motors. Their working principle, characteristics, selection criteria and the way to control. An introduction to 3-phase electricity is added since many industrial engines are 3-phase.
