Print on Demand. The book delves into the fundamental principles of electrical engineering by guiding students through the testing of direct-current machines. It is intended for those seeking a thorough understanding of the characteristics and operation of electrical machines. The book provides a detailed analysis of the behavior of machines, explaining the reasons behind their performance and guiding readers in troubleshooting and efficiency calculations. The author presents a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between current, resistance, and potential in conductors, along with the impact of armature windings, brushes, and cable leads on armature circuit resistance. The book also examines the function and significance of shunt field windings in providing the necessary ampere-turns for the magnetic circuit. The author effectively demonstrates the methods for determining the magnetization and external characteristics of shunt generators and explores the factors influencing the regulation and compounding of compound generators. Through experiments and calculations, the book imparts a deep understanding of motor starting rheostats, efficiency, and the influence of speed on motor characteristics. Overall, this book serves as a valuable resource for students, providing a solid foundation in the intricacies of direct-current machines and their applications. 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.…

The book is written to help beginners grasp the material quickly without sacrificing accuracy. It wires together theory with step-by-step experiments, showing how to verify Ohm’s law, measure resistance, and interpret voltages, currents, and power. Aimed at Columbia-style lab courses, the notes also show how to adapt procedures when strict methods become too complex, keeping safety and practicality in focus.
- Learn to set up and read measurements for DC and AC devices, including watt-hour meters and storage batteries.
- Study motor and generator behavior, including shunt, series, and compound configurations, with practical testing scenarios.
- Practice data collection, calculations, and interpretation to determine efficiency, losses, and performance characteristics.
- Explore fault-finding and instrument adjustments to improve accuracy and reliability in the lab.
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, lab‑oriented introduction to electrical testing, this edition equips students and technicians with actionable procedures and a clear path from concepts to hands-on results.

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.
