A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for engineers and students navigating the intricacies of electrical transmission lines. It dives deep into the fundamental principles governing these systems, offering practical tools and formulas for calculating key parameters like voltage regulation, line drop, and conductor sizing. Published in an era of burgeoning electrical infrastructure, the book addresses the challenges faced by engineers in designing and managing efficient power transmission networks. The author emphasizes the importance of accurate calculations, highlighting the limitations of approximate methods for longer lines. Through clear explanations and illustrative examples, the book explores the interplay of resistance, reactance, and capacitance in transmission lines. It delves into the concepts of power factor, charging current, and skin effect, providing a solid foundation for understanding line behavior under various load conditions. By demystifying complex mathematical expressions and offering accessible working formulas, this book empowers engineers to optimize transmission line performance and ensure reliable power delivery over long distances. 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.

Synopsis

Excerpt from Transmission Line Formulas for Electrical Engineers and Engineering Students

The first method, which is described in Chapter III, is in the form Of a chart which gives the regulation or voltage drop of a line, and which also shows directly the required size of conductor for given conditions. In Chapter IV are given formulas for distribution lines and transmission lines only a few miles long. These are extended in Chapter V by means of the constant K to apply to transmission lines of any length in ordinary practice. For purposes of checking different formulas, and for the calculation of extremely long and unusual lines, the fundamental formulas of transmission lines are expressed by rapidly converging series in Chapter VI. While these series require much more arithmetical work than the K formulas, they will give the exact results to any degree of accuracy desired. The method of convergent Series in volves the use of complex numbers, that is, numbers in which j terms appear. They are easier to handle, however, than logarithms, sines and cosines of angles, or hyperbolic functions, and therefore the use of these other mathematical functions has been avoided.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The chart and working formulas have for the most part been developed independently by the author. Where the same or similar methods have been previously published, the fact is generally stated in the footnotes, but it has not been found possible to make these references absolutely complete. The second part of the book is for reference and contains the derivation of the principal formulas used in connection with transmission lines. As many recent articles on transmission lines make use of formulas which are only roughly approximate, or are even incorrect, a reliable collection of formulas, with the method of obtaining them, should be found valuable. It should not be presumed, because the second part of the book requires the use of the integral calculus, that the working formulas will require a knowledge of higher mathematics. The first five or six chapters are complete in themselves, and are planned for the use of those who have an ordinary acquaintance with alternating-current calculations. H. B. DWIGHT.
