The book "Design of Electrical Rotating Machines and Transformers", authored by Dr. Seyed Ebrahim Afjei, a professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (Electronics and Telecommunications) at Shahid Beheshti University, and Mohammadsepehr Zamani, a graduate of the same university, has been published.
This book was first published in 2024, comprising 794 pages in medium octavo format, by Shahid Beheshti University Press, and is priced at 4,800,000 IRR.
The book aims to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for designing various widely-used electric machines in the industry. The authors have focused on essential and practical topics, avoiding unnecessary discussions and presenting practical experiences to convey concepts in a way that facilitates implementation and production.
The science of designing electrical machines encompasses various fields of knowledge, which are crucial for a successful design. Accordingly, the book is divided into eleven chapters, covering different aspects of sciences and engineering (such as mathematics, physics, material engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering).
Chapters one through five address foundational concepts, including mechanical, structural, thermal, optimization, and simulation aspects, equipping engineers with the tools and knowledge needed for cost-effective, manufacturable, and high-quality designs.
Chapter six discusses the design of distribution and power transformers. Chapters seven to nine are dedicated to designing three types of machines from the DC machine family, specifically covering the design of brushed DC machines, PMDC motors, and BLDC motors. Chapter ten focuses on the design of induction motors, one of the most widely-used motors in the industry. The final chapter briefly covers synchronous machine design, supplemented with practical examples for better understanding of electric machine design concepts.
Overall, "Design of Electrical Rotating Machines and Transformers" serves as a comprehensive and practical reference for electrical engineers, specialists, and students beginning their journey in designing electric rotating machines and distribution and power transformers. It is also suitable for teaching at the master’s and doctoral levels.
Students and enthusiasts can purchase the book from the sales office of Shahid Beheshti University Press, located on the ground floor of the IT building, or order it online through the university's publishing website. Additionally, the electronic version of the book is available on the "Fidibo" and "Taghche" platforms.
