Principles Of Electrical Machines -v.k. Mehta-.pdf [repack]

Transformers are the static workhorses of the power grid. The treats this topic with the gravity it deserves.

Alternators and synchronous motors are covered here. The author spends significant time on the "V-curves" and the concept of infinite busbars.

This chapter bridges the gap between mechanics and the power grid.

The most practical section for power engineers. The author uses the analogy of a "water pipe" to explain mutual induction.

This is where most editions begin. V.K. Mehta explains the difference between a generator (converts mechanical to electrical) and a motor (electrical to mechanical).
