A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Introduction THE following chapters on commercial electrical testing, by Mr. E. F. Collins, Technical Superintendent of the General Electric Company sS chenectady Works, cover a branch of engineering, the study of which is of great importance at the present time. The rapid growth of electrical engineering has necessitated a corresponding development in testing practice to keep pace with engineering and commercial needs; and therefore a description of the arrangements, methods and apparatus used by theS chenectady Works of the largest electrical manufacturing company in the world cannot but prove instructive, not only to the engineering student, but also to all electrical engineers, besides being of considerable aid to those schools and colleges which give a course of instruction in electrical laboratories. The testing department of a large company is, of necessity, one which employs only those methods which have been found by experience to combine accuracy, efficiency and economy. The subject can be naturally divided into two classes; viz., tests made to obtain engineering information to serve as a basis for future design or for other purposes, and commercial testing. In the latter case, which forms the greater part of the testing work, commercial considerations require that each job be finished as quickly as possible. The machines supplying power and the switchboards must therefore be located and designed from this point of view, and all connections and wiring laid out with the greatest possible care. The personnel must be thoroughly drilled and instructed in their work by experienced men, and each job as it comes along must be assigned to a small group who assume the responsibility for the proper completion of the test.
