Alternating-Current Electricity and Its Applications to Industry, Second Course provides a practical, systems‑level guide for engineers and technicians working with AC power, from generators and transformers to transmission and motors.
The book compiles theory, design considerations, and problem‑solving approaches in a clear, application‑oriented style.
This edition dives into how alternating current systems are regulated and controlled, how parallel operation and synchronization work, and how transformers and transmission lines are designed for efficiency and reliability. It also covers polyphase systems, induction and synchronous motors, converters, and related electrical equipment, with a focus on real‑world performance and calculations.
What you’ll experience
- Clear explanations of generators, transformers, and transmission line behavior
- Practical methods for voltage regulation, load sharing, and efficiency
- Step‑by‑step discussion of alternating current motors and drive systems
- Worked problems and examples to reinforce essential concepts
Ideal for readers of industrial electricity, power engineering, and technical courses in electrical systems seeking a solid reference for AC power applications.
