9781330618899: Synchronous Motors and Converters (Classic Reprint): Theory and Methods of Calculation and Testing

Synopsis

Unlock the theory, testing, and calculation methods for synchronous motors and their converters. This reference explains how engineers analyze reactances, determine transverse reactions, and assess motor performance using practical diagrams and measured data.

Delve into the tools and techniques used to model and test synchronous machines. The book covers methods for calculating constants and reactions, interpreting oscillograph records, and understanding how different excitation schemes affect operation. It also presents real-world testing setups and the relationship between theory and practice, including how to evaluate stability and power factor in electrical systems.




  • Methods of testing alternators and calculating reactances

  • Determination of transverse and direct reactions, with practical examples

  • Use of oscillographs to measure dephasing and assess motor behavior

  • Insights into starting, operation, and efficiency considerations for synchronous machines



Ideal for engineers, students, and professionals working with motors, generators, and power systems seeking a clear, deduction‑based approach to synchronous motor theory and practice.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The new matter consists of three chapters by Prof. Blondel, and a chapter contributed by Prof. C. A. A dams. Part III contains the reprints of the two papers presented by Prof. Blondel at the St. Louis Electrical Congress in 1904, relating to the application of his two-reaction method to alternators. A very few modifications and additions have been made in the text by the translator. His own strong objections to the terms wattless and watted made him very willing to eliminate them; and the recent action of the Standards Committee of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in sanctioning and recommending reactive and active as substitutes, furnished the incentive and the pretext for doing this, even after a considerable portion of the type had been set. This book will, therefore, be the first book in which wattless and watted are replaced by reactive and active respectively. The translator desires to express his gratitude and sincere thanks to all who have encouraged and assisted him in the preparation of this book for the press. Special acknowledgment should be made of the very valuable services rendered by Prof. C. A. A dams. He was the first to suggest the publication of this book, and he has made many excellent suggestions, besides contributing two new chapters, and also reading and correcting the proofs of the entire book. Special thanks are also due to Prof. E. J. Berg, of the University of I llinois, for his very thorough reading of the proofs of Part I, and for very excellent suggestions for changes and additions made by him, some of which are incorported in notes inserted in the text, and identified by the initials EJ.B. Thanks for reading the proofs of Part I, and making corrections or suggestions are due to the following: Prof. D. C. Jackson, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Profs. W. I. Slichter and Morton A rendt, of Columbia Univ
