Synopsis
Explore the rise of the transformer, from early induction experiments to the power grids we rely on today. This concise history follows the ideas, experiments, and key innovators that shaped how electricity is produced, transformed, and distributed.
The book traces a clear arc from Faraday’s ideas to the practical systems that power modern life. It covers famous devices and engineers, the move from series to parallel distribution, and how breakthroughs in core technology made safer, more efficient electricity possible.
- A readable timeline of pivotal experiments and inventions
- Plain explanations of terms and concepts you’ll meet in electrical engineering
- Profiles of notable figures and their impact on the field
- How evolving designs led to scalable, distributed power
Ideal for readers of engineering history and anyone curious about how electric power became a everyday reality.

History of the Transformer (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of the transformer, a device that converts alternating current from one voltage to another. Starting with Faraday's 1831 discovery of electromagnetic induction, the author traces the evolution of the transformer through the work of inventors like Page, Ruhmkorff, and Fuller. The book highlights the challenges faced by early transformer designers, including the need to maintain a constant electromotive force amidst varying loads. The author discusses the concept of parallel connection and the significance of non-polar transformers, which paved the way for self-regulating distribution systems. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of the transformer in the development of electric lighting and power distribution, showcasing its role in enabling the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances. This book provides a valuable historical perspective on a fundamental technology that continues to shape the way we use electricity today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330484197_0
