Continuous and Alternating Current Machinery Problems: Elementary Problems for Use in Technical Schools (Classic Reprint)

Practical problems to master continuous and alternating current machinery

This concise problem book is designed to accompany Morecroft’s elementary text on Continuous and Alternating Current Machinery. It presents carefully crafted, engineer-focused exercises that connect theory to real-world practice, making abstract ideas more concrete through concrete examples and simple laboratory work.

Inside you’ll find graded exercises that cover key topics: elementary laws of continuous currents, the components of direct-current machines, generator and motor behavior, efficiency considerations, and foundational alternating-current principles. The problems emphasize practical problem-solving over abstract math, helping readers build confidence through repeatable methods.

- Solve authentic engineering-style problems drawn from everyday power machinery
- Learn by applying basic principles to generators, motors, transformers, and polyphase systems
- Use straightforward, classroom-friendly approaches that reinforce understanding
- Build a solid foundation for technical courses in electrical engineering and related fields

Ideal for students in technical schools and anyone pursuing a focused, hands-on introduction to electrical power machinery.
