Synopsis
Master practical AC knowledge through detailed, experiment‑driven learning.
This book is a workmanlike guide to the principles of alternating current work, paired with a laboratory companion that emphasizes hands‑on practice. The experiments are described in great detail so you can follow the conclusions even if you don’t have full lab facilities. The author avoids heavy mathematics except in the final chapter on curve analysis, focusing instead on results and real‑world examples.
Early experiments emphasize principles and calculation exercises, while later chapters present the most general practical measurements in full. The book also suggests how to adapt the exercises to your own setup, and reminds readers that much of the work happens on paper after readings are taken. The material is backed by tables and curves, drawn from careful testing, to help you build a solid, usable intuition about alternating currents and test methods.
- How to design and interpret a practical AC laboratory course using the book’s experiments.
- Methods for measuring impedance, power, voltage, and current in various circuit conditions.
- Techniques for tracing waveforms, analyzing transformer behavior, and understanding excitation and regulation.
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, results‑driven path to mastering practical AC testing and machine behavior.

Practical Alternating Currents and Alternating Current Testing
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive and practical guide to the principles of alternating currents and alternating current machinery. Delving into the foundational laws governing electrical generators and motors, the book explores the generation of electromotive force, the interplay between current and magnetic fields, and the nature of alternating currents. Using a clear and engaging approach, the author explains complex concepts through detailed experiments, allowing readers to grasp the principles involved even without conducting the experiments themselves. The book's treatment of alternating current machinery is deeply rooted in the historical context of electrical engineering, tracing the development of key concepts and technologies. This historical perspective provides a valuable framework for understanding the evolution of alternating current technology and its applications. Through a combination of theoretical explanations and practical examples, the book unveils the intricacies of alternating current systems, from basic principles to the operation of transformers, alternators, and induction motors. The book's focus on real-world applications makes it a valuable resource for students, engineers, and anyone seeking a practical understanding of this fundamental aspect of electrical engineering. 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 # 9781330540947_0
