Fitzgerald & Kingsley's Electric Machinery 7/e

Description
This seventh edition of Fitzgerald and Kingsley's Electric Machinery by Stephen Umans was developed recognizing the strength of this classic text since its first edition has been the emphasis on building an understanding of the fundamental physical principles underlying the performance of electric machines.

Much has changed since the publication of the first edition, yet the basic physical principles remain the same, and this seventh edition is intended to retain the focus on these principles in the context of today's technology.

Features
The Sixth edition Introduction to Power Electronics chapter (Chapter 10) has been removed from the Seventh edition. This chapter will be posted to the book's website - available for instructors and students.
There are 96 new end-of-chapter problems for a total of 371 problems in this edition. Almost all of the remaining problems, although retained in form from the previous edition, have been altered either in substance or numerically such that the previous solutions are no longer valid.
New examples have been added to this edition, bringing the total number of examples to 111, and in addition, some of the examples from the previous edition have been revised.
A list of variables and their definitions has been included at the end of each chapter.
The use of MATLAB has been considerably expanded in the seventh edition in examples, in practice problems, and in end-of-chapter problems.
The seventh edition introduces some simple examples of electric-machinery dynamics and includes a few MATLAB/Simulink' examples and problems.
