9781527708815: Automatic Regulation of Alternating Generators and Circuits

Synopsis

This book is an examination of alternating current electric generation and circuit theory. It begins with a rudimentary overview of alternating current circuits and the problems they presented early in their development. The author then gives a comprehensive look at regulators developed through the 1890s-1900s that sought to solve the issues these circuits introduced. The author positions these inventions and their development within the larger history of electrical engineering, providing historical context and explaining the significance of each new invention and their inventors. The author concludes by discussing the present state of alternating current generation and regulation, explaining how the insights born of these early experiments and inventions are the foundation of our current electrical grid and how they continue to inform modern electrical engineering.
