Experiments for Electrical Machines Drives and Power Systems

Electric motors transformers and control systems are used in all modern industries. Knowledge of the characteristics of these will help the electrical engineering technologist keep the wheels of industry turning. This book will give the student a practical introduction to electrical machinery transformers and motor control. The experiments have all been used at the Pennsylvania State University Mckeesport Campus. There the full series of experiments were done in two semesters. Each experiment requires about two hours of laboratory time. The book is designed to accompany a textbook. As an added feature the book also has sections on conducting an experiment laboratory report writing accuracy equipment and motor runaway.
