This user-friendly title provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of electrical
drive systems. The volume details ideal rotating transformer (IRTF-model) which simplifies the
understanding of electrical machine principles. It also provides a presentation of dynamic
generic models that cover all major electrical machine types and modulation control components
of a drive as well as dynamic and steady state analysis of transformers and electrical
machines. Downloadable files contain a set of build and play tutorials (Simulink® and Caspoc)
which are in the form of simulations that can be used by the reader to enhance understanding
of the theory. These simulation exercises are based on a set of generic models which help the
reader visualize the physical processes that take place in a drive.
