Electrical Machines

Electrical machines are electrical devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, mechanical energy into electrical energy, or transfer electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another. They are fundamental to power generation, transmission, industrial drives, and many electrical systems.

Electrical machines can be broadly classified into DC machines, transformers, induction machines, and synchronous machines. This section of Elpedia explains their construction, working principles, equations, characteristics, testing methods, losses, efficiency, applications, and related concepts.
