INTRODUCTION
this course is an introduction to electrical machines and energy conversion. We will review single phase and three phase electric power. Also, we will study in detail magnetic circuits, Transformers, induction machines (steady state), synchronous machines (steady state) and dc machines.

CLASS NOTES

A draft of class notes will be used in this class.
