Synopsis

The Induction Motor and Other Alternating Current Motors: Their Theory and Principles of Design presents practical, engineering-focused insights into how induction motors work and how to design them for real use. It emphasizes graphical methods, such as the circle diagram, and shows how to apply these ideas to polyphase and single-phase machines.

With a clear, experience-based approach, this edition explains key concepts without heavy algebra, focusing on physical understanding, measurement, and graphical reasoning that engineers can apply in the field. It covers both squirrel-cage and commutator-type motors, and draws connections between theory and practical performance.

• Foundational concepts like the circle diagram and leakage factors.


• Differences between single-phase, polyphase, and commutator motors.


• Graphical methods for analyzing torque, current, and speed relationships.

Ideal for engineers, students, and practitioners seeking a solid, accessible grounding in alternating current motors and their design.

Excerpt from The Induction Motor and Other Alternating Current Motors: Their Theory and Principles of Design

"...Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." Charles Darwin, "The Descent of Man," p. 3.

"It is particularly interesting to note how many theorems, even among those not ordinarily attacked without the help of the Differential Calculus, have here been found to yield easily to geometrical methods of the most elementary character.

"Simplification of modes of proof is not merely an indication of advance in our knowledge of a subject, but is also the surest guarantee of readiness for farther progress." Lord Kelvin and Peter Guthrie Tait, "Elements of Natural Philosophy," p. v.

"The simplicity with which complicated mechanical interactions may be thus traced out geometrically to their results appears truly remarkable." Sir George Howard Darwin, "On Tidal Friction, in Treatise on Natural Philosophy." By Kelvin and Tait, p. 509.

"...the absence of analytical difficulties allows attention to be more easily concentrated on the physical aspects of the question, and thus gives the student a more vivid idea and a more manageable grasp of the subject than he would be likely to attain if he merely regarded electrical phenomena through a cloud of analytical symbols." Sir Joseph John Thomson, "Elements of the Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism," p. vi.

"It is remarkable that such elementary cases of Newtons dynamics should require abstruse considerations for their explanation. But it is far worse in the more modem dynamics, with ignoration of coordinates, and modified Lagrangean functions. Dynamics as visible to the naked eye seems to disappear altogether sometimes, leaving nothing but complicated algebra." Oliver Heaviside, "Electromagnetic Theory," vol. iii, p. 401.

"Let them make the effort to express these ideas in appropriate words without the aid of symbols, and if they succeed th...

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.
