In need of a good book

In need of a good book

In need of a good book

(OP)
At my present job I have been dropped into a R&D position developing a small a/c generator.  Electrical however isn't my background.  My boss has been on vacation and been of little help, he is an EE.  I was wondering if there are any good resources or books for the designing of generators.  A 2Kw, self excited, belt driven generator.  I need to figure out the rotor especially.  Like I said this hasn't been my backgroiund.

RE: In need of a good book

Try this one:

Electrical Machines (Hardcover)
by M. Kostenko (Author), L. Piotrovsky (Author)

RE: In need of a good book

If you are looking for a practical design of small generator may be found in old editions of Popular Mechanic magazine or similar publications.

The engineering books that I know, usually explain principle, theory and calculations that may take longer than the vacation time of your boss.
