Synopsis
Explore the core ideas behind electric power and machines in Steinmetz’s classic reference.
This edition presents foundational theory on magnetism, electric currents, and how they interact in real-world electrical equipment. Rich with explanations of how generators, motors, transformers, and transmission lines work, it offers a bridge between concepts and practical engineering.
The book blends fundamental concepts with practical insights. It covers magnetism, electromotive forces, inductance, impedance, and the behavior of alternating current in machines and networks. It guides readers from basic principles to the design and analysis of complex apparatus used in power systems and industry.
- Foundational theory of magnetism and electric current in a single, structured reference
- Detailed treatment of alternating current phenomena and key components like transformers and motors
- Discussion of practical considerations for commutation, regulation, and stability
- Historical context and methodology for studying electric engineering problems
Ideal for students, engineers, and anyone seeking a clear, authoritative overview of early 20th‑century electrical theory and its applications.
