9780365273776: Principles of Alternating Currents (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Mastering alternating currents from fundamentals to practical calculations.

This classic guide explains how engineers analyze and work with AC circuits, from basic quantities to complex network behavior.

This edition presents a thorough treatment of key concepts such as impedance, reactance, and admittance, along with methods for solving circuits in series and parallel. It also covers non-sinusoidal waves, Fourier analysis, and the role of harmonics in real-world systems, including power factors and measurements in polyphase networks. The book blends theory with practical techniques, helping readers predict currents, voltages, and power in a wide range of applications.
  • Clear definitions of voltage, current, impedance, and admittance used in electrical engineering
  • Techniques for analyzing series and parallel circuits, including resonance and tuning
  • Approaches to non-sinusoidal waves and harmonic content using Fourier series
  • Polyphase currents, transformer behavior, and three- to six-phase systems
Ideal for students and professionals seeking a solid, field-ready reference on alternating currents and their applications in power, communication, and network analysis.
