Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the sixth in a series that guides the reader in the analysis and generation of diagrams used in alternating current engineering. After an introduction to alternating currents and their basic principles, this volume covers these key topics; resistance and inductance in AC circuits; factors that determine angle of lag; capacity in series, parallel, and combined; application of the condenser: impedance, power factor, and synchronism; power measurement; alternators: construction of alternators; armature reactions; hunting and synchronizing; transformer and motor principles. This book is a useful reference for electrical engineers and is part of a series that is included in the electrical engineering department of most universities and colleges. It contains theory as well as practice and is a valuable addition to the library of any engineer working in this field.
