INTRODUCTION

In this dossier, we present the general characteristics of the main industrial electrical machines. Vertical-axis hydraulic alternators and turboalternators running on hydrogen are not covered here (see "Hydraulic alternators and compensators" [D 3 540] , Turboalternators [D 3 530] , in this treatise).

This dossier is part of a series on "Construction of rotating machines":
