Electric Machinery Fundamentals – Stephen Chapman – 5th Edition

This Instructor’s Manual is intended to accompany the fifth edition of Fundamentals of Electrical Machinery. To make this manual easier to use, it has been made self-contained. Both the original problem statement and the problem solution are given for each problem in the Book. This structure should make it easy to copy man pages for publication after problems have been assigned. Many of the problems in Chapters 2, 4, 5, and 8 require the student to read one or more values from a magnetization curve.

The required curves are given in the textbook, but they are shown with relatively few vertical and horizontal lines so they don’t look too messy. Electronic copies of the corresponding open-circuit characteristics, short-circuit characteristics, and magnetization curves are also supplied with the book. They are supplied as ASCII text files. Students can use these files for electronic solutions to homework problems. ASCII files can be read into MATLAB and used to interpolate points along the curve.
