Synopsis
Master the principles of alternating currents with clear explanations and practical tests.
This text presents the essential theory of alternating electromagnetic systems and shows how it applies to machines like motors and generators. It blends conceptual foundations with worked examples and practical considerations.
Readers will explore how rotating fields, vector methods, and ideal windings help model real-world machines. The book also covers performance testing, efficiency, regulation, and the relationships between current, voltage, and power in AC networks. Its approach connects theory to common engineering problems, making complex topics more approachable.
- How rotating magnetic fields and sinusoidal flux distributions are represented and analyzed
- Practical methods for testing alternators, transformers, and rotary converters
- Key concepts such as slip, phase relations, magnetism, and machine efficiency
- Abridge of core topics from induction motors to synchronous machines with useful diagrams
Ideal for readers of engineering texts who want a solid, applicable understanding of alternating currents.

Alternating Currents: A Text-Book for Students of Engineering (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of alternating current (AC) phenomena. While the basic concepts of AC theory are presented, most of the book deals with the more advanced and complex aspectsâ"topics often missing from introductory treatments. The approach is analytical but uses simple mathematics, making it comprehensible to those with a basic knowledge of calculus and vectors. The author draws on decades of industrial experience to provide unique insights and detailed explanations of practical issues that engineers must face when working with AC systems. In addition to explanations of underlying principles, the text is supported by nearly 180 diagrams and 100 worked examples. Most of the worked examples are not trivial applications of formulas but are rather explorations of real-world situations that illustrate the practical uses and limitations of AC theory. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330428818_0
