Electrical Machinery: A Study of Principles of Design, Construction and Operation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A clear, accessible guide to the core ideas of electrical machinery and how machines generate and control power.
This self-contained study presents the fundamental principles behind motors, generators, and transformers. It explains how current, voltage, resistance, and magnetic fields interact, with practical explanations and practical problems to reinforce learning. The text emphasizes approachable explanations over heavy math, making complex topics easier to grasp for beginners and seasoned students alike.
From the flow of electricity and Ohm’s law to alternating-current generators, excitation methods, and voltage control, the book walks readers through how devices are designed, built, and operated. It also shows how engineers analyze performance, efficiency, and regulation in power systems and equipment.
- Foundational concepts such as current, electromotive force, and power
- Methods of generating and controlling direct and alternating current
- Details on generators, motors, transformers, and regulation equipment
- Practical problems and review questions to test understanding
Ideal for readers of technical history or those studying early 20th-century electrical engineering, this edition offers a solid grounding in the principles that powered early modern electricity systems.
