Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating realm of 'transient electric phenomena,' exploring the brief yet impactful electrical occurrences that transpire within systems during periods of change. While direct and alternating currents often take center stage in electrical engineering, the author emphasizes the crucial role of transients in shaping the behavior of complex electrical systems, particularly in power and communication networks. Emerging from a rich history of electrical engineering advancements in the early 20th century, this work offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles governing transient phenomena. The author's approach is rooted in the physical properties of these events, providing clear explanations and practical insights. Through detailed illustrations and oscillograms, readers embark on a journey into the intricacies of single and double energy transients, electric line oscillations, and the impact of variable circuit constants. The book explores resonant phenomena and coupled circuits, delving into the complexities of energy transfer and oscillation within interconnected systems. Rich with practical examples and experimental data, the author unravels the mysteries behind transient behaviors in various electrical apparatus, including motors, generators, and transformers. By illuminating the often overlooked aspects of electrical systems, this book empowers engineers and students to gain a deeper understanding of transient phenomena and their profound implications for the design and operation of modern electrical infrastructure. 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. …

Transient electric phenomena generally increase in commercial importance with the size and complexity of electric systems, and a knowledge of the fundamental principles of electric transients and their application to the solution of quantitative problems is as essential to the successful operation of large power and communication systems as a mastery of the basic laws of direct and alternating currents.
This work is an outline of an introductory lecture and laboratory course given during the past twelve years to electrical engineering students in the University of Washington. The purpose of the book is to aid the student in gaining clear concepts of the fundamental principles of electric transient phenomena and their application to quantitative problems. The course as outlined is professedly of an elementary character with emphasis placed on the physical properties of electric transients. The text is illustrated and supplemented by a large number of oscillograms of transients that occur in the various types of machines and electric circuits in common use in electrical engineering laboratories. The problems are based on quantitative data obtained from laboratory experiments under circuit conditions that may easily be reproduced by the student.
Quantitative laboratory work is essential in order to readily gain insight into the physical nature of transient electric phenomena. It is advisable to require the student to devote at least two-thirds of the time allotted to a course in electric transients to the taking of oscillograms.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
