Master the fundamentals of alternating currents with a rigorous engineering text.

This volume, the second part of a comprehensive two‑volume set, presents the core science and practical design principles behind electro-magnetism and dynamo construction. It emphasizes understanding, not just formulas, and aims to build a solid physical conception of how alternating currents behave in engineering practice.

The book focuses on the fundamental phenomena and their applications in real machines. It prioritizes clear explanations, careful reasoning, and original demonstrations, while selectively using practical data to illustrate key deductions. Aimed at advanced students and professionals, it guides readers from basic concepts through methods of analysis, measurement, and parallel operation of alternators, with attention to testing and efficiency.

Clear explanations of pressure, current, impedance, and the magnetic circuit in alternators
Graphical and analytical methods for solving alternating-current problems
Practical coverage of testing, regulation, efficiency, and parallel operation
Discussions of polyphase currents, machine efficiency, and methods used in shop testing

Ideal for readers of engineering texts in electrical power, this edition supports those pursuing a deep, tool‑ready understanding of alternating-current machinery.
