	Subject - electrical machinery lab kurt cma I have recently been given the task of teaching an electrical machinery lab course to senior Marine Engineer Technology and Facilities Engineering Technology students at a California State University campus. Does anyone have experience with a good lab manual for covering the following topics? We have a well equiped lab and I'd like to have the students learn by applying electrical theories to practical problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kurt COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course covers the fundamentals of three-phase electrical power, transformers, electrical motors, generators, and plant power distribution systems. Motor control theory and equipment maintenance will be demonstrated. Topics covered include: Magnetic circuits, ac machines & dc machines. An understanding of transformer performance & transformer connections. Measurement of electrical & mechanical quantities for operating machines. Application, operation, and maintenance of electrical motors and electrical generators. Principles & operation of circuit protection devices. Operation, maintenance, & troubleshooting of motor controllers. JimmyDee One of the best books I've seen for most of what you are going to cover is the "Basic Electricity" Navy manual. Click Here Its published by the Department of Navy. It is not a "how to" book or lab manual but it is the most exhaustive reference I own. Mine was published in the 1960s. Jim aussiesparky You cant't go too wrong with "Electric Motor Control" by Walter Alerich. Used it for my appreticship and motor control training it takes you through the basic princibles chapter by chapter
