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.
