Synopsis

Hook line : A practical, building-block guide to alternating-current machines, from basics to real-world design.

The book covers the theory and practical design of transformers, motors, and alternators, with a clear look at how alternating current behaves in real systems. It introduces the properties of alternating currents, wave shapes, and the factors that distort voltage and current in practice, then moves into construction, operation, and testing of machines. This edition emphasizes American designs and applications, including power transmission and a wide range of measurement and test methods.

  • Learn the fundamentals of AC, including self-induction, capacitance, and inductance, and how they shape current and voltage
  • Explore transformers and motors in depth, with guidance on design, efficiency, and practical calculations
  • Understand rotating fields, induction motors, and the behavior of polyphase systems
  • Discover how to test and analyze AC circuits, and how power transmission fits into the picture
Ideal for students, engineers, and practitioners working with alternating-current power systems, this book offers both the theory and the hands-on guidance you need.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
