Laboratory and Factory Tests: In Electrical Engineering (Classic Reprint)

Plan your lab work with a clear, practice‑oriented guide to electrical testing and dynamo operation. This edition provides thorough, classroom‑style experiments and practical demonstrations.

This nonfiction handbook is designed as the laboratory component of the Electrical Engineering course at Columbia University. It presents the required tests in a structured sequence, with brief theory where needed and a practical emphasis suitable for students and practicing professionals. The contents cover direct current tests, alternating current tests, and general electrical measurements, all organized around hands‑on experiments and real‑world procedures.

• Direct current tests and measurements, including resistance, temperature effects, insulation, and motor/dynamo operation.
• Alternating current tests, covering impedance, transformers, synchronous machines, and complex test setups for power systems.
• Electrical measurement techniques and apparatus, such as bridges, potentiometers, wattmeters, and instrument calibration.
