Synopsis
Explore the practical world of transformers and induced currents in this classic engineering reference.
This volume covers the theory, design, and real‑world use of alternating‑current transformers, coils, and related apparatus, tracing developments from early induction coils to modern distribution systems.
In Fleming's detailed survey, readers gain a thorough grounding in how transformers are built, tested, and applied. The book blends historical context with hands‑on discussion of construction methods, efficiency, losses, and system layouts used in central stations and line distribution.
- Foundations of transformer theory and the evolution of induction coils
- Construction details for practical transformers and concentric mains
- Methods for measuring efficiency, core losses, and capacity effects
- Applications in central stations, welding, and electric distribution systems
Ideal for engineers, students, and readers interested in the early electrical power systems that shaped modern electricity supply.

The Alternate Current Transformer in Theory and Practice, Vol. 2
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This meticulously researched study of the history of the induction coil and transformer traces the evolution of these electromagnetic machines from rudimentary 19th-century experiments to their modern, highly developed state. Through a detailed examination of prototypes and innovations, it explores how scientists such as Henry, Sturgeon, Page, and Callan laid the groundwork for the induction coil, adding to and refining its design over time. The author also delves into the role of these pioneering inventors in advancing the understanding of electromagnetic phenomena and their practical applications, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of electrical engineering, transformer theory, or the development of electrical technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
