A Textbook of Electrical Technology - Set of Volume 1&2

A Textbook of Electrical Technology, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 By B.L. Theraja and A.K. Theraja

A cornerstone two-volume set for electrical engineering students across South Asia, together building a complete foundation from basic circuit theory through to machine theory. Volume 1 covers basic electrical engineering, giving students a rock-solid grounding in circuits and network analysis before they move on to machines, transmission, or electronics. Volume 2 then shifts focus to AC and DC machines, a subject spanning basic electrical engineering, electronics, and control systems more broadly, with particular emphasis on motors. Across both volumes, the series is known for pairing dense theoretical coverage with an unusually large bank of solved examples, practice problems, and clear multicolour diagrams — making it as useful for self-study and exam prep as it is for classroom teaching.

Topics commonly covered include, in Volume 1: electric current and Ohm's law, DC network theorems (Kirchhoff's laws, mesh and nodal analysis, superposition, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems), work, power and energy, electrostatics and capacitors, magnetism and electromagnetic induction, AC fundamentals and circuits, resonance, harmonics, and an introduction to electromechanical energy conversion. Volume 2 continues into DC generators, DC motors, transformers, three-phase and single-phase induction motors, synchronous generators (alternators), synchronous motors, and special-purpose machines.

Key features:

• Complete progression from circuit fundamentals (Vol. 1) to machine theory (Vol. 2) in one series

• Extensive solved examples and practice problems throughout both volumes

• Special emphasis on motor chapters in Volume 2, expanded and revised across editions

• Clear multicolour diagrams and illustrations to aid visualization of complex concepts

• Long-standing S. Chand Publishing reference used across multiple engineering disciplines

Perfect for:

• Electrical and non-electrical engineering students (civil, mechanical, electronics, etc.) needing a full foundational sequence

• Students taking basic electrical engineering and AC/DC machines courses back-to-back

• Students needing strong solved-example support for exams across both subjects

• Anyone building complete groundwork before advancing to power systems or transmission topics
