The formation of the syllabus for Electrical Machines is based on the need for students to get exposed to the plethora of electrical machines in use. Electrical machines are run by power and hence concepts of power utilization stay at the central position of the chapter. Constructional details, methods of electrification, principles of operation, characteristics of structural components, functions of overall machine, voltage regulation, circuit formation, performance calculation, speed control, load test, methods of power generation and distribution, friction determination are the major topics of study in the discipline. These topics are done with relation to all major types of electrical machines namely transformers, induction motors, synchronous machines and special electrical appliances. The course study makes use of application of mathematical equations, theorems and other quantitative concepts along with qualitative treatment using concepts of physics. Technical guidance about these machines and their parts is provided in the form of illustrative methods.
