Machines 1 introduces the fundamental principles of electrical machines, focusing on transformers, DC machines, and basic AC machines. It covers the working principles, construction, and operation of these machines, along with performance analysis and efficiency calculations. Students learn to analyze and design circuits involving electrical machines for practical applications.
