Synopsis

Understand the core ideas behind alternating currents and how they power the modern grid.

This book offers a thorough look at the theory, generation, and transformation of alternating currents, with clear explanations of concepts that drive the design of machines, transformers, and measurement tools.

This edition covers fundamentals and practical applications, from wave behavior and rotating fields to the operation of transformers, induction motors, and synchronous machines. It combines foundational theory with methods used in real-world electrical systems, helping readers connect ideas to everyday engineering challenges.

• How alternating current behaves in simple and polyphase systems
• Key components of power generation, transmission, and conversion
• Methods for measuring power, losses, and regulation in AC machinery
• Insights into transformers, motor behavior, and control methods

Ideal for students and professionals seeking a grounded, hands-on overview of alternating currents and their tech-driven applications.
