Practical Electrical Machine Design: Theory, & Calculations

This course on Electrical Machine Design offers a comprehensive understanding of design principles and real-world practices used in the electrical industry. It is created by Faisal Shaikh, an Electrical Engineer and Transformer Designer at Meem Transformer. The course is divided into five core areas, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of machine design for real-world applications and engineering success.

We begin with the design of three-phase transformers. You'll learn to calculate design parameters, choose materials, plan winding configurations, and estimate cooling needs and performance. Next, the course explores the general aspects of rotating electrical machines, including electrical and magnetic loading, output coefficient, and machine sizing.

The third section covers the design of three-phase induction motors. It includes stator and rotor design, winding methods, flux density management, and rotor slot selection. After that, we explore DC machines, focusing on armature design, winding types like lap and wave, pole design, and field system configuration.

The final module is on synchronous machine design, including stator and rotor structure, short-circuit ratio, air-gap length, pole face design, and performance estimation. This course is perfect for engineering students, recent graduates, and professionals looking to enhance their knowledge and practical design skills in electrical machines and systems.
