Présentation de l'éditeur

Many chapters have been more or less completely rewritten and enlarged, as those on the topographical method, on distributed capacity and inductance, on frequency converters and induction machines, etc., and the size of the -volume thereby greatly increased. The denotations have been carried through systematically, by distinguishing between complex vectors and absolute values throughout the text; and the typographical errors which had passed into the first and second editions, have been eliminated with the utmost care. To those gentlemen who so materially assisted me by drawing my attention to errors in the previous editions, I herewith extend my best thanks, and shall be obliged for any further assistance in this direction. Great credit is due to the publishers, who have gone to very considerable expense in bringing out the third edition in its present form, and carrying out all my requests regarding changes and additions. Many thanks are due to Mr. Townsend Wolcott for his valuable and able assistance in preparing and editing the third edition. CHARLES PROTEUS STEINMETZ. CAMP MOHAWK, VIELE SCREEK, July,

Présentation de l'éditeur

While the book is not intended as first instruction for a beginner, but presupposes some knowledge of electrical engineering, I have endeavored to make it as elementary as possible, and have therefore only used common algebra and trigonometry, practically excluding calculus, except in 106 to 115 and Appendix II.; and even 106 to 115 have been, paralleled by the elementary approximation of the same phenomenon in 102 to 105. All the methods used in the book have been introduced and explicitly discussed, with instances of their application, the first part of the book being devoted to this. In the investigation of alternating-current phenomena and apparatus, one method only has usually been employed, though the other available methods are sufficiently explained to show their application.
