BASICS OF ELECTRICAL MACHINES

Today, electrical energy is the most widely used form of energy for performing several industrial, commercial and domestic functions such as pumping water, fans, coolers, air conditioning, refrigeration, etc. Since, most of processes require the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. Also, the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. Hence, this clears that we need a mechanism to convert the electrical energy into mechanical energy and mechanical energy into electrical energy and such a mechanism is known as electromechanical energy conversion device. Electrical machines are essential devices that convert energy from one form to another usable form. They can be broadly classified into three categories: Generators, Motors, and Transformers. Generators transform mechanical energy into electrical energy, motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and transformers alter voltage levels in AC systems, forming the backbone of a power system. Electrical machines are integral to domestic appliances, commercial devices, and industrial applications. For students of electrical engineering, understanding the fundamental concepts of transformers, motors, generators, and magnetic circuits is very important.
