Green Book: Design of Brushless Permanent-Magnet Machines:
J.R. Hendershot and T.J.E. Miller

This brand new 822-page brushless machine design book is generously illustrated in color as the authors have tried to catch up with the progress over the last 16 years of PM bushless machine design and development since their well known 1994 book. Almost the entire work is the direct result of intensive consulting by the authors, in collaborating with many of the leading producers of brushless permanent-magnet machine products worldwide. Much of the theoretical material has been evolved from SPEED’S Electric Machines, the theory text that accompanies the SPEED PC-BDC software developed by Prof. Miller. This book was written with a focus on actual engineering practice and tries to deal with most of the questions that arise on a daily basis in PM brushless machine design. It is written for practicing engineers, many of whom have used the 1994 book heavily. The book includes many more examples than the 1994 book. The authors’ partnership is a long-standing combination of theoretical, practical and consulting experience, while the book with its rich illustrations of industrial products celebrates the rich engineering accomplishments of design engineers from all over the world.
