Synopsis
Electric Lighting. A Practical Exposition of the Art for the Use of Engineers, Students, and Others Interested in the Installation or Operation of Electrical Plants. Volume I: The Generating Plant
This classic reference explains how electrical energy is generated for lighting systems. It covers the essential components of a generating plant, from prime movers and dynamos to the machinery that drives them. You’ll learn how energy is converted, transmitted, and ultimately used to illuminate spaces with arc and incandescent light.
Written for engineers, students, and professionals, it presents the principles and practical details needed to understand and plan electric-light installations. The text emphasizes a logical sequence: how electricity is produced, then distributed, and finally transformed into usable light, with a focus on the generating side of the system.
- Foundational concepts of generating plants, including steam and gas engines, boilers, and dynamos
- Discussion of mechanical connections, power transmission, and control devices
- Guidance on selecting and applying equipment in electric-lighting projects
Ideal for readers beginning work in electric lighting or refreshing historical, engineering, and classroom knowledge with a thorough, standards-aligned approach.
